During her time at Eastman, Adrienne was also selected as an inductee into the Pi Kappa Lambda National Music Honor Society for her excellence in academics and music performance. She performs frequently on several instruments, including the modern cello, the baroque cello, a 5-string baroque piccolo cello, bass and treble viola da gamba, and the organ!
