Research

 

Stacie and her duo partner, Dr. Jamie Reimer, have collaborated as performers and researchers for over a decade.  Featured performers on numerous recitals and conferences throughout the United States and Europe, the duo continue to advocate for opportunities to champion women composers and African-American composers. A highly coveted Gold Prize at the London Virtuoso Music Awards featured Shawn Okpebholo’s, Words Like Freedom written for the duo.  Championing the works of American composer, Robert Owens, the duo were also received two Special Judge's Citations with the American Prize garnering recognition in both American Art Song and Chamber Music. 

​

The duo is honored to work with leaders in the field such as Caroline Helton, Emery Stephens and Byron Jones, who engage in interdisciplinary dialogue on the diverse representation and performance of works by Black composers in the canon.  The duo has advocated for continued research and performances of their research at many conferences including the University of Michigan's, Singing Down the Barriers, Women in Music Festival, SHE Festival, National Opera Association, African American Art Song Alliance, International Keyboard Collaborative Society, National Association of Teachers of Singing, and the International Association of Women in Music.​
