Festival appearances have included Ravinia, Constella, Olavfestdagene, and Tanglewood; her performances of David Lang’s just and Castiglioni’s Cantus Planus at the Tanglewood Festival of Contemporary Music were hailed as “a beautiful performance” by the New York Times and “a stunner” by the Boston Globe. Fotina was a featured soloist in the symphonic premiere of Sondheim on Sondheim with the Boston Pops in 2017, and completed the Resident Artist program at Indianapolis Opera in 2018.
