Ms. Roadfeldt premiered 65 preludes in 17 states as a guest artist at multiple venues including the University of Akron, University of Missouri-Kansas City, Oklahoma State University, Wichita State University, the Peabody Institute, University of Nebraska-Kearney, Western Carolina University, Carson-Newman University, the College of Southern Maryland, Westminster College, the University at Albany, Manchester University, and Lafayette College.
