Upon her return to Canada she has been presented in numerous concerts in Québec and Ontario notably in the title role of Opera in Concert’s 2005 production of Donizetti’s Maria Stuarda. Stephanie’s compact disk, Im Abendrot, which includes ‘Die vier letzte Lieder’ of Richard Strauss was recorded in recital at Bandeen Hall in Sherbrooke, Québec. She has collaborated with Canadian composer, Donald Patriquin, who wrote the brilliant ‘Magnificat for Turning’ for her. Stephanie will be featured as a guest soloist with the Gatineau Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Yves Léveillé, in their 2013-2014 Season’s performance of the Mozart Requiem.
