She frequently performs with a core ensemble featuring prominent jazz musicians and is recognized for her warm vocal tone and sophisticated arrangements.

Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts opened in 1962 and comprises a complex of buildings along Columbus Avenue overlooking Damrosch Park. It is home to twelve resident companies including the Metropolitan Opera, New York City Ballet, New York Philharmonic, and The Juilliard School. Designed as a major revitalization project for the area, it was conceived to establish a civic hub for multiple performing arts disciplines. The complex has undergone significant renovations over the decades, aiming to enhance accessibility and modernize performance spaces while preserving its mid-century modern architectural aesthetic. Its David Geffen Hall recently completed a substantial overhaul focused on acoustics and audience experience. The venue regularly hosts performances spanning classical music, opera, ballet, jazz, and contemporary works.
