Recent performances for Rebecca include the title role in Marais' Sémélé with the American Bach Soloists Academy in San Francisco. This performance was the first complete performance outside of Europe of the opera and received much praise from the Baroque music community in San Francisco. Rebecca was praised for being "a light, lyric soprano with near perfect diction in French" and was described as being "commanding in her delivery, and yet appropriately subdued and compliant". She will appear as one of three soloists for performances in Philadelphia and New York and a recording of Thomas Lloyd's Bonhoeffer with The Crossing. Rebecca holds an undergraduate degree from Westminster Choir College in music education and a masters degree from Temple University in vocal performance. Before pursuing a performance career Rebecca taught vocal and general music in the Cleveland area for five years.
