Following her folk interests and the tradition of body percussion in American folk music also led her to compose "riSE and fLY", a concerto for body percussionist Colin Currie. The piece premiered in 2012 with the BBC Concert Orchestra, conducted by Keith Lockhart, and premiered in the Netherlands with the Codarts Ensemble and the United States with the Albany Symphony Orchestra in the 2014–15 season. Her most recent orchestral work, "Fire in my mouth", was commissioned by the New York Philharmonic and premiered at David Geffen Hall on January 25, 2019. The piece was based on extensive research into the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire.
