In the fall of 2006, she returned to France and performed two concerts as part of the International Roussel Festival. In November 2006, she was the featured soloist in a performance of Beethoven's Piano Concerto, No. 3 at Elon University. She also has performed at Virginia Commonwealth University, James Madison University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Davidson College, Emory and Henry College and West Liberty State University. A native of Charlston, Ill., Keiter-Brotzman received a bachelor of music degree from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. She earned a master's degree and her doctorate of music at Indiana University.
