In addition to being a chamber and orchestral musician, Rebecca is committed to the educated performance of contemporary music, and dedicates much of her time to rehearsing and performing new works, especially those written by women and BIPOC. She has performed for several contemporary ensembles, including the Boston Opera Collaborative's Opera Bites, Chimera New Music Project, JANVS Project, The Fourth Wall, and Ambient Orchestra, and recently performed a program of contemporary and commissioned works for string duo in Boston, NYC, and Milwaukee, alongside violinist & violist Laura Thompson.
