Darlene's fifth CD, Angel on Ivories (2/11/11), is a treasury of seventeen classical art songs & arias, performed voice with piano, revealing her talent as the accompanying pianist as well as her pellucid assoluta soprano. Inspired by a True Story (6/28/11), album number six, is comprised of nine original mixed-genre, inspriational, songs and "The Prayer," featuring Darlene's English-only, solo arrangement that she sang on the legendary TV Soap Opera, The Young and The Restless.

More of her work can be heard on hit films such as Sister Act and Sister Act II as choir nun and real-life choir director & production vocal coach, and on hundreds of movies, records, commercials, live events, concerts, and television shows, such as The Academy Awards and American Idol; and many, many more. These are just a few examples demonstrating her extraordinary abilities as vocalist/keyboardist/producer/songwriter/arranger/composer/lyricist/author/speaker, combined with musical sophistication, that make her one of the most sought-after musicians in the entertainmnet business today.
