Joyce began the 2023/2024 season as the Artist-in-Residence for the Grant Park Music Festival where she performed with the Grand Park Festival Orchestra and gave solo and chamber music performances with Xavier Foley. She made her 19th visit to the Aspen Music Festival as Guest Artist performing Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.

In the 2022/2023 season, Joyce will collaborate with over a dozen orchestras around the world, bringing her flair and passion to a variety of her favorite concerti by Rachmaninoff and Grieg as well as Mozart and Liszt. Joyce will present her new kaleidoscopic recital program in Berkeley, Aspen, Aliso Viejo, consisting of works by Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Bach, Kernis, and Stravinsky. 

Joyce returned to her favorite music festivals like the Aspen Music Festival and School, where she “blazed her way through Prokofiev’s highly energetic, pungently dissonant Piano Concerto No.3 in C major with an amazing level of lyricism and joy in the sunny parts.” (The Aspen Times) As a passionate chamber musician, Joyce joined forces with her powerhouse colleagues and performed at Seattle Chamber Music Festival and La Jolla Music Society’s Summerfest and gave solo recitals in Southeastern Piano Festival and Grand Teton Music Festival.

Joyce continues her busy season of live-performances consisting of solo, concerto, and chamber music performances. She returns to perform with Phoenix, Marin, Utah, Nashville, Colorado, Rhode Island, Iowa, Brevard, Pacific, Hawaii, and Dallas Symphonies and plays solo recitals across the country. An advocate of chamber music, Joyce plays chamber music with Musicians of the St.

In the fall of 2021, Joyce toured all across North America sharing her wide range of repertoire, showcasing 8 different piano concerti and a solo recital program of pianist-composers (Bach, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, Liszt). The 8 piano concerti included her tried-and-true favorites as well as two concerto by living composers, Jonathan Leshnoff and Reinaldo Moya.

Joyce gave a World-Premier performance of a new piano concerto written for her by Venezuelan composer, Reinaldo Moya. Commissioned by the Ellis-Beauregard Foundation for the Bangor Symphony Orchestra, this new concerto for piano, strings, and percussion is inspired by the works of visual artist Carlos Cruz-Diez. According to the composer, "the concerto is an attempt to translate some of Cruz-Diez's visual language into the realm of sound. Each of the concerto's movements is titled after a specific technique that Cruz-Diez used throughout his long career".
