She is a past president of the Salem Consortium of Vocal Artists and the fifth international vice president of Mu Phi Epsilon, an international music fraternity.
Harvey serves as the principal trumpeter of Opera San Jose and the Western Opera Theater; he is also a member of the Modesto Symphony Orchestra. His past credits include performances with the Epic Brass Quintet, the Cape Town Symphony Orchestra, the Spoleto Festival Orchestra, the Sarasota Opera Orchestra and the Chautauqua Festival Orchestra.
