Ms Peters has been heard numerous times on Austrian Radio and on National Public Radio. Recent recordings include Telemann Concertos and Lawes Fantasies with Music's Re-creation on Centaur and Alec Wilder's Suite for Harpsichord and Flute. In the fall of 1996 she was invited on three days notice to step in as soloist in a critically acclaimed concert series of Handel Concertos with Monica Huggett and the Portland Baroque Orchestra. In celebration of the centenary of Brahms' death in 1997 Ms. Peters presented a recital of solo and chamber music using her Viennese piano of 1881. Among last season's solo performances were a solo recital of French baroque harpsichord music and a piano recital of twentieth century music. From 1993 to 1995 she was visiting assistant professor at Lawrence University.
