Her sophomore album with Cheng, Chorinho: Music for Viola and Piano from Brazil (PARMA Recordings), was released in August of 2023 with support from the NYC Women's Fund, the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment, and the New York Foundation for the Arts, and was declared “captivating” and “(with a blend of musical styles) deftly handled by Rossi” (--BBC Music Magazine).
