While clearing out her family home, Leah discovers a letter her father wrote suggesting she lacked what it takes to become a professional musician. But cellist Leah Coloff just won a Grammy and has played alongside the greatest names in contemporary music – from David Bowie to Debbie Harry.
Hear her story, told through spoken word, music and song in this funny, humane show.
'Leah Coloff plays and sings with artful angularity and a rock-inflected assertiveness' (New York Times).
'As part storyteller and part singer/cellist, she seamlessly embodied the two distinct worlds.' (ICareIfYouListen.com).
