Her most recent CD, Perceptions of Shadows, features two of her solo piano works.

She was also praised by NYC's Robert Sherman, WQXR and WFUV Classical Music Radio Host, "not only as a beautiful pianist, but as a thinking artist...she is a composer herself, and is really able to get into the heart of a piece, and project it's inner statements." Ms. Campbell was also singled out by Rorianne Schrade for New York Concert Review describing her as a... "sensitive colorist and intelligent musician, Ms. Campbell reflected total immersion in her music".

The program will conclude with Suite from Appalachian Spring, original version for 13 instruments by Aaron Copland and performed by the DCS Chamber Orchestra under the baton of conductor Robert Whalen.
