Their recordings include the 2020 album, MUSIC FOR FLUTE, CELLO AND PIANO BY WOMEN COMPOSERS, featuring music by Clara Schumann, Lili Boulanger, Princess Anna Amalia of Prussia, Judith Lang Zaimont, Mel Bonis, and Dianne Goolkasian Rahbee.

When she is not making radio or playing her flute, Suzanne enjoys reading, running, cooking, baking and traveling. She is also passionate about the cause of literacy. She was a longtime volunteer tutor and board member for The Literacy Council in Cincinnati, and served on a community advisory board for a children’s literacy initiative, and she is currently on the board of Literacy Volunteers on the Green in New Milford, CT.
