Cello Stories: A Life Under Broadway

Cello with Piano
 
 Since 2003 MAIRI DORMAN-PHANEUF  has held chairs in twenty-one Broadway shows, including The Bridges of Madison County, A Little Night Music, Sunday in the Park with George, and Parade.
 
Mairi shares what it is to be a Broadway musician. Using exquisite arrangements and captivating stories, she illustrates what drew her to a career of supporting a story through music.

 

Mairi’s show was simply spellbinding. She was able to authentically connect to our audience. She was lovely to work with and we got such amazing value for her expert artistry. Highly highly recommend! – Irene Green, MA,  Executive Director, The O’Shaughnessy
