She won the Artist's International Young Artist Piano Award resulting in her New York debut at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall. Ms. Gills performance with the Utah Symphony under the baton of Joseph Silverstein was hailed by the Salt Lake Tribune as “a performance with confidence and flair”.  

Ms. Gill has performed in the United States, Europe, and Canada with performances broadcast on KSL, KBYU radio, and QPTV, and KSL television. She has given concerts for dignitaries and royalty.  Ms. Gill was the featured artist for the Bi-Annual Gala of the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce in the presence of T.R.H. Crown Prince Guillaume and Princess Stephanie of Luxembourg.  Rausch of “Le Jeudi”, a Grand-Dutchy Luxembourg newspaper wrote’ “her playing is spectacular, poetic and so inspiring”.

Her newest CD the Piano Works of Samuel Barber, was released to critical acclaim on Centaur Records.  Her playing was described as “a sophisticated lyricism coupled with a boisterous energy…she sculpts lines with seduction and sensuality and her serious and astute understanding of this music reins supreme…”-Figel, American Record Guide Magazine  

This September she performed with the Oakland Civic Orchestra in California for The Jammers Strong Foundation’s “Concert for a Cure” benefiting the Stanford Children’s Hospital and Pediatric Cancer Research.  Ms. Gill resides in New York where she keeps a busy concert and teaching schedule.
