This past summer, Dr. LeBlanc toured France and Italy playing concerts featuring traditional repertoire and new music by Kentucky composers from her compact disc, entitled “The Sun Shines Bright.” In June 2006, she was invited by the Cultural Ambassador of Macon, France to perform a solo recital of pieces exclusively from this CD.

She has given many lectures, including a presentation at the 1998 Music Teachers National convention based on her research in the Isidore Philipp Archives of the University of Louisville. In addition, she has articles on Isidore Philipp published in the American Music Teacher and Clavier.
In collaboration with Rachel Grimes, a Louisville composer and pianist, Dr. LeBlanc is a co-recipient of grants from the University of Louisville Women’s Center, the Kentucky Foundation for Women, and the Kentucky Arts Council.
