A one-woman show by trombonist/performance artist,

Julie Josephson  

(New York)

A music theater collage for trombone, voice, original text and sound samples, based on Julie’s farm upbringing and experiences growing up in a close relationship with her mentally handicapped brother, Todd.  The musical elements include old, new and improvised music -- including sound samples of her father’s 1947 John Deere tractor.

And evening of theater, music and text of poetic beauty.
