She curated The NewMusicShelf Anthology of contemporary art songs for soprano and recently announced her second collaboration with the publisher, The 40@40 Anthology.

Ms. Strickling created the role of Fanni Radnòti in the world premiere of Tom Cipullo’s opera The Parting with Music of Remembrance, and the role of Dr. Slade in the world premiere of Everything for Dawn with Experiments in Opera.
