We have a very diverse and talented group that we are privileged to work with. Our presenters range in age from the twenties to the eighties. When these presenters embody the poems, speaking them out loud, all the feelings, moods, and images in the poems become present in the room. It is pure magic.
Here are short bios of some of the presenters:

MUSICIANS
We love music of all kinds so we have world class musicians like on woodwinds, on tabla, on oud and electric bass and on accordion. These musicians improvise music that fits perfectly with the poetry. How they do it I don't know, but they always do. The music adds so much. |
