Letters To The President

Letters to the President is an American Musical Event, conceived by Michael Bello and Jessica Kahkoska

Since George Washington took office in 1783, writing letters to the President has provided citizens of all ages, races, political parties, and backgrounds an outlet to express their most personal concerns, hopes, and dreams for our country. LETTERS TO THE PRESIDENT reimagines this canon of letters as a multi-composer, new musical event, with each song inspired by a letter from the archive. LETTERS TO THE PRESIDENT offers a powerful look at the American democracy by setting the White House’s most memorable mail to song.

Featuring Songs by Ari Afsar, Preston Max Allen, Simone Allen, Dawn Avery, Nick Blaemire, Emily Gardner Xu Hall, Elliah Heifetz, Anna K. Jacobs, Madeline Myers, Naomi Matlow & Teresa Lotz, Ronvé O’Daniel & Jevares Myrick, Rona Siddiqui, Mark Sonnenblick, Will Van Dyke & Jeff Talbot, Ben Wexler, and Zack Zadek
