In 1984 Lolly coordinated audio playback of her recording of John Adams' Light Over Water for its premiere performance in Los Angeles (Museum of Contemporary Art) and New York (Next Wave Festival, Brooklyn Academy of Music). In 1989 she toured with the Kronos Quartet providing live playback of the recorded portion of Steve Reich's Different Trains. In 1998 she toured with Chanticleer as production and stage manager. Recent producing projects include composer Anthony Davis' opera Tania (based on the story of Patty Hearst), a premiere recording of orchestral music by Harlem Renaissance composer Florence Price, and a program of new chamber music works by composer Mario Davidovsky. She is currently producing San Francisco's New Esterhazy Quartet in their 2-year project to record all of Haydn's string quartets in live performance.
