Her projects span contemporary classical premieres, film music, international ensembles, and critically acclaimed solo albums, including her 2024 release Maple to Paper, a stripped-down, profoundly intimate meditation on motherhood, grief, and transformation recorded live in her home studio. Whether writing for voices, strings, or the screen, Stevens remains guided by fearless curiosity, poetic storytelling, and an unmistakably personal musical voice one that continues to inspire artists and audiences across genres.
