A man is on the brink of despair.
The Substances he has used to
mask his pain are not working
anymore.
A guardian angel brings him on
the journey to face his addictions,
so he can live from his heart
and not through his fear.

This year's collaboration is part of a
"Charles Ives Birthday Celebration"
and Mimi Stern-Wolfe's ongoing
eclectic music series at St. Mark's
Church. The Ives' songs Two Little
Flowers (1921) and The Cage
(1906) contrast freedom and
innocence with the restrictions of
life. These precede
No Way Out But Through.

The Program also featuresIves'
Violin Sonatas #2 and
#4,performed by
Mimi Stern-Wolfe, piano
Marilyn Dubow, violin
and includes America Variations
and He is There (1917) with
Mary Hurlbut, soprano
Andrew Bolotowsky, flute
Thank you for all those who came to
Labyrinth's Annual Fundraiser at Orensanz
on December 29th. Your enthusiastic
presence and generous contributions
helped make the occasion a great success!
NOOR ON TOUR
On January 25th, Felicia Norton toured
NOOR to Paris, performing the piece in
Suresnes in Noor's family home. The space
was filled to capacity, and we received a
standing ovation. It was a beautiful
experience to do the piece in Noor's home
where she grew up and where much of her
touching story took place.

Felicia went on to perform at
The Nehru
Centre, on February 5th and despite the
crippling snow storm in London to a cheerful
and enthusiastic crowd with many sari clad
women and were very supportive as well.
