Lisa Neher

Maybe this has happened to you… You’re a composer at a new music festival. You meet a performer and they express enthusiastic interest in your music. When you get home, you send them the score. But then…crickets. You never receive a response.

Recorded some audition selections today with my dear colleague Dianne Davies. We have earmarked Lenny the Leopard from Irving Fine and Gertrude Norman's Childhood Fables for Grownups for a future performance--we loved recording it so much!

Mezzo-composer Lisa Neher, flutist Rose Bishop, and pianist Abbie Brewer performed a concert of “innovative yet beautiful” chamber music in Saint Paul. orartswatch.org/blessed-with-a… Thankyou @orartswatch for this fabulous review!

@megwilhoite Yargh right?

@LisaNeher I had almost these exact same thoughts earlier today. These servicers really love rubbing salt in the wound.

All I want to do is select a different repayment plan for my student loans. But I have to do this via phone call, not online (why? I'm an adult. They're my loans. Shouldn't I get to decide how to repay them?) So I sit here. On hold. For 30+ minutes. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.

Congratulations to all on your excellent, expressive, and unique performances of Sunflower Sea Star! We're so grateful that you commissioned this work and shared your performances with audiences.

1 hour.

Also can I say: I got married. I'm not eligible for my old plan anymore because my household income increased. This is me trying to be proactive and say, charge me more! Why is that so hard?

@piargno84 Cuddly stuffed animals!

If you could replace all the guns in the US with something else, with what would you replace them? For me, either books, non-perishable protein rich healthy food for the poor, or common sense.

@SchumakerA @Kickstarter You're so welcome!

@LisaNeher @Kickstarter You hit all your channels - wow. Thank you so much!

@SchumakerA is making an album: Love, Death, Sleep, Money ! Can you support it with a signal boost on a few $? I preordered the album via @Kickstarter which is a great model so that the artists can have the funds they need to create it now, and I get music when it's done!

@Donne_UK @ChloeKnibbs1 !

Recommendations anyone? Who is your favourite multi-disciplinary director for projects involving music, spoken word and multimedia? (woman and UK based)

@caitlincvincent & I are writing a new work for exploring the temptations of our modern lives and how we contribute to or fight climate change for the Sirens Songs Project led by Cristina Gallo. Can you help us get the word out and/or pitch in a few $ ? gofund.me/d3cc849a

@arthurbreur Yes! That's such a fabulous one!!

Lewis Carroll's poetry is so delightful!

Signal boost for this cool project by @garrt!

Fall Covid vaccination: Scheduled!✔️ Thank you, science!

@samsonYhiss @RenegadeOpera We all worked hard to get the word out, and we're building on Renegade's history of success over the last 3 years as well, plus our own audiences.

@LisaNeher @RenegadeOpera how'd that happen? did someone promise nudity?
