Songstresses from the Edge are singers, composers, & instrumentalists who are performing original art songs by themselves as well as premieres by leading New York composers. Spearheaded by cellist, composer and vocalist Jody Redhage, their next venture is this coming Saturday, Aug. 29 at 8:00 at the First Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn.

Jody will be playing a solo set of new compositions she’s commissioned for voice, cello & electronics, including:

• Lainie Fefferman- “Slash Plus” for voice, cello, & clarinet
• Daniel Felsenfeld- “From Sleepless Nights” (words Elizabeth Hardwick)
