In addition to opera, Ms. Strauss has performed a vast repertoire of sacred music, e.g. the Mozart鈥檚 Requiem for the September 11 Commemoration at Lincoln Center, New York. A passionate Lied Singer, Ms. Strauss has performed in recitals at Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall, the Goethe Institute in New York City, the Mozart Society of California, and at the Bach Festival in Roskilde (Denmark).
