Mrs. Vlasse’s music has been recorded by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and performed by influential award-winning pianists, such as GRAMMY®-winning pianist Nadia Shpachenko, Robert Thies, and Mina Perry.  Champions of her music include GRAMMY®-winning sopranos Hila Plitmann and Sangeeta Kuar, GRAMMY®-winning flutist Wouter Kellerman, GRAMMY®-winning cellist Éru Matsumoto, Long Beach Symphony principal cellist Cecilia Tsan, Los Angeles Opera cellists John Walz, and Charles Tyler, Los Angeles Philharmonic violinist Mischa Lefkowitz, GRAMMY®-winning violinist Lili Haydn and genre-bending sensation, Caroline Campbell. Mrs. Vlasse enjoys writing choral works, and was the 2019 Composer in Residence for the Sterling Ensemble choir.
       
David Wilcox, the director and choreographer of the Long Beach Ballet, along with ballerina Aitana Jordan, and figure-skater Madeline Stammen (of "Cirque Du Soleil") have also incorporated Danaë's music into their work.



When asked what inspires her music, Danaë is quick to respond:
“My need to create is so profound that I would keep writing even if no one ever heard a note of my music, but my creative goals are very precise in what I hope to bring to listeners; Beauty, Truth, & Elevation!”
