September 2023
I have a few openings available now, so get in touch!
Two of my current students have written new songs that will be premiered at our December recital!
FYI
"Even Broadway, in the city that supposedly never sleeps, has moved up curtain times. [from 8 pm start to 7 pm] …In New Orleans, notorious for late nights, concert promoter River Beats used to schedule main acts to start as late as 1 a.m. Now, a typical event starts at 6 p.m. and ends at 11 p.m. at the latest."
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds First-Ever Musical Episode: On Thursday, August 3, the Paramount Plus original series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds dropped “Subspace Rhapsody,” the first-ever musical-themed episode in Star Trek franchise history. The episode featured 10 original songs, plus a “Subspace Rhapsody” version of the series’ main title, with music and lyrics by Letters to Cleo‘s Kay Hanley and Tom Polce and choreography by Roberto Campanella. “Subspace Rhapsody” is described as follows: “An accident with an experimental quantum probability field causes everyone on the U.S.S. Enterprise to break uncontrollably into song, but the real danger is that the field is expanding and beginning to impact other ships—allies and enemies alike.”
