Happy New Year! 2013 was an adventure. We traveled 36,558 miles, staged performances and workshops in 60 cities, premiered new works, collaborated with talented artists, and made many new friends along the way. 2014 promises to be even more rewarding as we tour two popular programs (Jazz Noir and The Great American Songbook) throughout the USA. Warm thanks for your continuing support, which makes it all possible! Just ahead...
