Rachelle has been presented as a soloist and chamber musician at such venues as the Concert Hall and Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center, the Frankfurt Radio Hall (Germany), the Romanian Athenaeum in Bucharest, and Casa de la Música (Ecuador), as well as being featured on the nationally broadcast “From the Top” on NPR, several German radio stations, and TV in Venezuela and Colombia. Her recordings of chamber works appear in the digital Mozart Archives (Salzburg) and Beethoven Archives (ARTE) as well as the ARD Mediathek in Europe, and she is regularly featured on digital concert venues such as ARTE Concert and Stage@Seven. A native of Virginia, Rachelle is delighted to return to the Appalachian Chamber Music Festival for a third season.
