Landfall CD (2022)
Saxton/Olsen Duo
The recorded repertoire ranges from Baroque to modern day, and traverses between darkness and light, improvisation and two recording premieres; the first church sonata ever penned for the pairing of trumpet and organ and the latest environmentally inspired title composition: 'Landfall' by Judith Saxton. Borrowing from oboe d'amore parts, vocal oratorio and two soul-rending Spirituals, this recording's soundscape travels from the bright and invigorating piccolo trumpet to the heartfelt and soothing lyricism of songs.

The Human Heart: Voices of Women (2021)
with Elaine Ross
I am primarily a Collaborative musician and view each one of my Solo recitals (a misnomer, at best) as collaborations in the truest sense of the word.
My two primary collaborators continue to be my former UNCSA colleagues: Allison Gagnon, piano and Timothy Olsen, organ.
Each year, I give a number of recitals with these two keyboardists, highlighting the many roles we each play: the keyboardists become the band, orchestra and chamber accompaniment and the trumpet becomes the singer of the song, the storyteller of sound, through the vehicle of vocal and instrumental music.
