Feature in Cincinnati CityBeat, “Four New Concertos by Women Composers”, April 2017
“Walker is proud of Soundbox’s contribution to Cincinnati’s arts so far. “I felt there was a gap in the opportunities for Cincinnati composers to be heard,” she says. “We shop local and have local theater, and we’re proud of that, but there are also amazing composers here.

Cincinnati CityBeat highlights Cincinnati Soundbox and the New Concerto Project as 2017 top pick, January 2017
“I haven’t made it to any of Cincinnati Soundbox’s performances, but its series starting in January gives me no excuses. Now in its second season, Soundbox is a chamber music series that presents music by living composers with no boundaries as far as style or genre. Noteworthy among Soundbox’s subsequent concerts is its New Concerto Project, which premieres four works for soloists and orchestra — all four are by women who have taken part in previous Soundbox programming. It occurs on May 2 at Covington’s Leapin’ Lizard Events Space.”
