She is a regular performer of the works of composer Francine Trester, whose piece, "A Walk In Her Shoes," Ms. Cheron performed with Boston Landmarks Orchestra at the Hatch Shell. 

Ms. Cheron is particularly proud to perform with Shelter Music Boston, which presents classical chamber music concerts of the highest artistic standards in homeless shelters and other sheltering environments in and around the Boston area.
