Bach, Franz Doppler, Ian Clarke, Claude Bolling, and one of her own compositions, and was joined by collaborative musicians Sonja Grimes, Patrick Adkins, and Sharla Jost, piano; Jay Corkran, drums; Jeremiah Roby, bass; and Lilia Smith, cello. While a student at Northwestern, Alisha was a student of Michele Frisch and Karen Baumgartner.
