Syracuse University invited me up to screen IMPACT for Remembrance Week 2021. 

It was an honor to attend the ceremonies I watched every year in person. And to meet this year's Remembrance Scholars, including the children of folks I went to SU with... who were there when the event happened.

SO HAPPY to return to Council Rock High School in Holland, PA for my annual vocal workshop with the choir. This time we had the combined ensembles of Council Rock North and South!

As we (HOPEFULLY) wind down the world of strictly online shows, join me in Virtual Pittsburgh for one last hurrah!

MY SET:    Sun 7/25/21    2-3p PT / 5-6p EST CONFLUENCE is an annual "speculative fiction" conference held in Pittsburgh, PA. The event itself was cancelled this year. But not the Music Festival! Which enables the appearance of a host of cool international artists. I am excited to join a roster of truly imaginative musicians. Check out the whole event at the CONFLUENCE site, linked above. FREE Zoom concert; donations to SFF encouraged.

I'm pretty sure I'll do the Star Trek Cycle tunes.... 

I joined fellow LA-based composers Zanaida Robles, Paul Gibson and Michelle Green Willner

for this fascinating chat about music, inspiration and "holidays"

"beautiful... devastating... affirming... heartbreaking" "I laughed and cried and sometimes at the same time. I encourage anyone who has lost the ability to know the good of humanity among all the evil in the world to watch IMPACT." "Girl In The Garden was so moving. I never allowed myself to process this properly. That song did it for me. 😘" "Maybe this play is what I needed to give myself permission to write about it. Or maybe the permission to give myself permission NOT to write about it." "They always say comedians are the best at drama. Amy Engelhardt is no exception... This career funny lady’s one act personal journey in the shadows of The Lockerbie/PanAm Flight 103 bombing was incredibly moving and emotionally introspective." "...she conveys her transformation of that experience over the years into something positive and hopeful....bringing such beauty and inspiration to such a tragic event...an astonishing piece of theater." "thank you for reminding us that no one is really gone as long as we tend their flame" "IMPACT is an exceptional work of multimedia storytelling...  a journey that begins with horrific, indiscriminate violence, weaves in the most moving musical tribute I have ever heard, and ends in community and grace." "powerful, thoughtful, kind and compelling" "Her words, lyrics, insights and her steadfast commitment to bear witness are profound and powerful. I encourage everyone to watch this." "her formidable powers of song and story connect us" LOOK BACK, ACT FORWARD 986bad54-aba9-d091-4ea4-cd11b406959c

I'm agnostic about EVERYTHING.

Then a series of startling coincidences I now call "follow-signs"

surrounding a major global event 30 years ago cropped up in my life.

And I followed them...

To a place I never thought would be so beautiful, and a story so compelling

I had to break my promise to never do a one-person show.  : )

I'm the featured artist in ALNM's SPOTLIGHT SERIES!

Had a blast doing ALNM's shows in Los Angeles at the Wallis Annenberg Center's Sorting Room (ASCAP New Musicals), Catalina Jazz Club and the late lamented Rockwell Table & Stage. ALNM's industrial strength support of theatre writers has provided a huge morale boost during the pandemic.

I've been a resident "sub-lebrity" on this sleigh for 15 years. Although we can't tour this year, we CAN reach a whole lot more people in places the live show didn't get to - and happy them up for a while.
