An Evening at HERE and Leah Coloff’s ThisTree, a world premiere in the 2019 PROTOTYPE Festival, with HERE Chair Bethany Haynes ’98, Friday, January 11, 7:30 PM

About the Show:

ThisTree weaves together a poetic narrative of Leah’s family history and her own struggle to start a family, with her blues, rock, and non-traditional cello singing and playing. Accompanied by an all-female band and surrounded by a lush video design, the piece is moving and poetic. Leah is also the first artist to benefit from HERE’s new Fund for Women Artists to give women artists additional support as they mount a full production on our stages.

About the Artist:

“Leah Coloff, accompanying herself on the cello — first with a pizzicato figure, then with a quick, repeating arpeggio — sings “The Soul Selects Her Own Society” with a combination of artful angularity and a rock inflected assertiveness.”— Allan Kozinn, The New York Times
