The following Boston Globe review is of her shared performance in Lukas Foss’s Ni bruit ni Vitesse: “…the combination of clanging, buzzing, and slow-rolling scales was mysterious and magical.” Ms. Kosch has also premiered works by several composers with groups such as the Boston New Music Initiative, and through Brevard’s new music program. She was also asked by the composer David Walther to record an opera with the Acting Singers Project, which was completed in 2010.
