Her favorite vocal roles are the mezzo solos in the Verdi "Requiem" and other choral works of Mozart, Brahms and Beethoven; contralto solos with choruses of the Russian/Slavonic repertoire such as Slavyanka, the alto solo in Rachmaninov "Vespers" , and the Vaughn Williams "Magnificat" for contralto soloist, chorus and orchestra. In the piano concerto repertoire, Donna especially enjoys performing the Mozart and Beethoven concerti, Gershwin's "Concerto in F", Rachmaninov No 1, "Walk within Winter" -a new work written for her by award-winning world-music composer Brent Heisinger, and the Schumann Concerto. The latter piece, in particular, has taken her around the world in recent years -  Donna has felt priviledged to share Schumann's beautiful work in the historic town of Pskov, Russia; on the "Last Night of the Proms" in Hamburg Germany's glorious Brahmshalle, on a live broadcast recording with the National Radio and Television Orchestra of the Ukraine in Kiev, in a summer music festival in London, and with the National Orchestra of the Republic of Georgia in Tblisi, and in many other locations. Meanwhile she has premiered "Walk within WInter" in over 16 countries and audiences worldwide have been extremely enthusiastic about this beautiful, evocative piece.

Most recently Donna has performed as piano soloist in concerti with the major orchestras of Russia, South America and USA, has conducted/coached opera in Spain and England, and has performed as vocal soloist in Bosnia, Italy, Brazil, England, Panama, and USA. Last December she recorded two programs for the Houston affiliate of NPR, including the rarely performed Piano Sonata No 1 of Rachmaninov. Several CD recordings (both piano and vocal solos) are in process and she is working to realise a long-held personal dream of performing all 27 concerti of Mozart, conducted from the keyboard as he performed them.

Donna has invites for return performances in France, Switzerland, Hong Kong, the Philippines, India, Italy, North America and Great Britain. Upcoming travels in the near future, however, include first-time appearances in Vietnam, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand!
