Mara was a 2022 Fellow for NYC Early Music Ensemble ARTEK's Madrigal Madness, and is currently a Vocal Fellow for the Baltimore Choral Arts Society’s 2022-2023 season. She is also a songwriter, and singer of traditional folk music of the English language, using guitar, autoharp, mountain dulcimer, and other instruments to accompany herself.
