HAIKU NYC

Song Set for Voice and Piano

Poetry: Daniel Neer

Music: Ellen Mandel

 

HAIKU NYC is a series of twelve autobiographical snapshots of a performer’s life in New York City. Each vignette depicts rare episodes of solitude in the midst of the urban landscape, capturing moments of clarity that are at times romantic, cathartic and bittersweet.
