During her time at Peabody, she performed with Peabody Camerata, an all-women’s contemporary ensemble, and participated in Opera Études, an opera composition program. Currently, Erica is further expanding her musicianship by studying piano at the Lumina Piano School on Ave U, serving as a song leader at All-Souls Bethlehem Church in Flatbush, and exploring bluegrass music at The Jalopy School of Music in Carroll Gardens.
