Elizabeth’s solo performances include Handel’s Dixit Dominus with The Thirteen in Washington, D.C., as well as Handel’s Messiah and Fauré’s Requiem with the Choir of Trinity Wall Street and the Trinity Baroque Orchestra, for which The New York Times described her Pie Jesu as “a limpid, sweetly optimistic plea for eternal rest.” Elizabeth holds both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s Degree in French from Middlebury College.
