Story Music Project works completed so far!

THE STORY MUSIC PROJECT MIGHT BE DONE

But the important work continues! Even though the Artist Employment Project of Creatives Rebuild New York is now in the history books, our resident composer and Music Director, Will Wickham, continues to collect and write musical stories stories of unheard voices of the Finger Lakes area. Most of the pieces completed so far have been recorded and can be heard on this website! Additionally our YouTube channel has videos of the July ‘24 concert and more! The most recent work will be premiered in Elmira on December 7th! If you have a story to share please reach out directly to Will at will.w@cantatasingers.com
