The long list of composers by whom Pamela has premiered works includes Trevor Weston, Tristan Perich, Jacob Cooper, Louise Fristensky, Lauren Butcher, and Eric Lemmon, among many, many others.

Pamela appears as a vocalist on minimalist composer Alexander Turnquist’s album Flying Fantasy, released on Western Vinyl, and on Owen Lake and the Tragic Loves’ album The Best of Your Lies, released on Carrier Records. The latter was named one of the Best Americana Albums of 2018 by Pop Matters.
