In October of 2022 she presented a solo lecture recital at the Museum of the American Revolution on the gigging cellists of eighteenth century Philadelphia. Eve founded the ensemble “The Publick Pleasure” to present concerts embodying her research into the early America's concert life. In January 2023 The Broad Street review noted “Music and Philadelphia history met joyfully in The Publick Pleasure, the most recent offering in the excellent series presented by Main Line Early Music.” In August 2025 Eve performed music of and presented her research on the French cellist, singer & guitarist Henri Capron at Cornell University's Center for Early Keyboard conference " Crafting Soundscapes."
