We are so thrilled to present Forgotten Voices in Association with Carnegie Hall, or as I like to call it, 'The People's House.' Forgotten Voices
features comment texts of the homeless shelter clients we have served
over 15 years of Music Kitchen concerts. The composite cycle is
comprised of 15 songs by composers Courtney Bryan, Jon Grier, Kelly
Hall-Tompkins, Gabriel Kahane, James Lee III, Beata Moon, Paul Moravec,
Angélica Negrón, Kevin Puts, Steve Sandberg, Kamala Sankaram, Jeff
Scott, Carlos Simon, Errollyn Wallen, and Ellen Taaffe Zwilich,

Mark Risinger, Bass, Ling Ling Huang, Violin, Andrew Gonzalez, Viola,
Alexis Pia Gerlach, Cello, Peter Seidenberg, Cello, and John-Paul
Norpoth, Double Bass.
We are also
thrilled to have as special guest NBC Senior Correspondent and dedicated
friend of Music Kitchen Harry Smith, and to also now welcome as special
guest Actress Jessica Hecht. Jessica is not only an award-winning film
and tv actress and my friend and colleague from Fiddler on Broadway,
but she is also a passionate humanitarian activist.
Especially
after what we have seen and lived over the last year and a half, it is
more important than ever to make forgotten voices heard. I am so
excited to share with you this very special window into our work in the
shelters for over 16 years. I look forward to seeing you there and
throughout this next season as we find our way together.
Thank you for your support of Music Kitchen - Food for the Soul.
Sincerely,
Kelly
