We are so excited for you to hear this conversation with the multi-faceted and brilliant Naomi LaViolette. As composer, singer-songwriter, and accompanist she brings empathy and joy to everything she creates. We dive into what it's like to have perfect pitch, how the skill of being an accompanist influences her ability to take on challanging projects, and how her incredible harmonic and rhythmic understanding of music helps her create songs that speak right to our hearts. We go deep in this one- both in music theory and spiritually.

Her Song Suffragettes show is on Sunday, March 8 at 6pm at the Kennedy School. It features WMP guests LaRhonda Steele, Rachel Brashear, and host, Leah Hinchcliff!!

Songs discussed:

Racing the Moon
Pour Me a Dream
Discovering Peace
