I see this question a lot. Indeed, musicians rarely get work directly from their website, and it can be annoying to have to keep one up to date. 

But on the other hand...

Composer and author Tina Davidson’s memoir, Let Your Heart Be Broken, is available in audiobook format on all major platforms starting August 12, 2025 via publisher Boyle & Dalton. The audiobook, read by Davidson herself, features her music woven throughout, interspersed in sections where she discusses the compositions’ creation. This rare look inside a composer’s creative process juxtaposes recordings of Davidson’s music, memories, journal entries, and insights into the life of an artist and mother at work. Let Your Heart Be Broken was published in hardback and paperback in 2023.

“Part of my commitment as a composer is to bring others into my musical world, both through the music itself and by writing about my creative process,” says Tina Davidson. “By weaving my compositions into the chapters of this audiobook containing my journals, I'm creating a bridge between my inner creative practice and the finished work, opening the door for listeners to understand and connect more deeply.”

Should you EVER play for free, or accept less than your normal rate? Normally I would say no, but I found myself offering the OPPOSITE advice recently to a client and thought I should explore that for you.

Recognized for her "sensual" and "strong" voice (New York Times), mezzo-soprano Devony Smith is a versatile performer with a wide-ranging repertoire in opera and concert music. 

Devony is a sought-after collaborator with composers, having premiered works by Grammy-award winning composer Jennifer Higdon, Jake Landau, Eve Beglarian, and Luna Pearl Woolf. 
 
This season, Devony has been featured on multiple album releases, including singing the role of the Lover in Kate Soper's Romance of the Rose. She also performs the alto solos on Benjamin Wenzelberg's release of his cantata, Any of those Decembers. This spring, Devony anticipates the release of her debut solo album In This Short Life with pianist Danny Zelibor, which features premiere recordings of works by composers Mark Adamo, Grammy award winning Jennifer Higdon, Jake Landau, Pulitzer Prize winner David Lang, B.E. Boykin, Eve Beglarian, and Will Liverman.

Pianist Danny Zelibor, praised for his sensitive and colorful playing, is a sought-after collaborator and performer. He made his Carnegie Hall debut with baritone Jarrett Ott and has performed in recital with numerous leading musicians, including soprano Harolyn Blackwell and Canadian cellist Amanda Forsyth. An ardent lover of art song, he frequently performs with the Brooklyn Art Song Society and the New York Festival of Song and has recorded world premieres of songs by Jake Heggie, Jennifer Higdon, and Mark Adamo. On the cutting edge of new music, he has premiered and workshopped dozens of new works.  A true believer in the power of music to be a bridge and a force for good, he joined baritone Sidney Outlaw on a concert tour and series of masterclasses in The Republic of Chad sponsored by the U.S. State Department and recently performed in his first series of Well-Being Concerts at Carnegie Hall with cellist Joshua Roman and violinist Simon Porter.  

Danny’s debut CDs for Toccata Classics, the beginning of a multi-volume set of the piano music of Alexandre Tansman, have received widespread praise from top music publications. A fellow of Tanglewood and graduate of Manhattan School of Music, Danny resides in New York City.

Nicole Cash is a highly skilled performer whose training in classical music allows her to captivate audiences and connect people through the power of sound. She served as 3rd Horn with the Dallas Symphony, and Associate Principal Horn of the renowned San Francisco Symphony, until she was diagnosed with focal dystonia, a career-ending repetitive movement disorder.

The meandering road of recovery and rediscovery led Nicole to the art of audiobook narration, to which she brings the same keen sense of rhythm, intonation, lyricism, and drama.

Nicole delights in voicing the blood-curdling suspense of a dark thriller,  the complex characters of literary and historical fiction, and the heart-warming nostalgia of a coming of age story. Her experiences as an African-American woman compel her to share the tangled theories and truths of social science and political justice tomes.

As the mother of two young children, Nicole feels right at home bringing to life all sorts of fantastical characters and creatures, and finds great joy in being silly. Most often described as “warm, clear, engaging, and easy to listen to,” her voice is a hug that envelops the listener in whatever story she is sharing. 

When away from her home studio on the North Shore of Long Island, NY, Nicole can be found creating custom cakes for friends and family, attempting to grow organic vegetables and herbs in her garden, skiing, singing karaoke, and of course…reading.
