Dr. Reynolds was a finalist in the 2017–18 Instrumental Soloist division of The American Prize for Instrumental Performance, and was named the 2017 recipient of the Sigma Alpha Iota Doctoral Grant for her dissertation that studied vibrato in early recordings of Claude Debussy’s Syrinx.

An avid supporter of new music, Dr. Reynolds has performed over thirty-five world premieres and commissions and continues to collaborate with composers throughout the world.
