  • “Georgia Shreve is a unique voice in the world of contemporary music,” observes Richard Auldon Clark, founder and conductor of the Manhattan Contemporary Chamber Ensemble, created 30 years ago. “Her original settings combine vocal, choral and instrumental beauty with great literature and stunning images to create a new performance art for the twenty-first century.”

  • “Imagination in music is quite different than with words” she observes. “It is far more abstract. I love my work, constantly trying to raise the bar, fueled by that challenge. I switch from words to music and back on a daily, even hourly, basis. Imagination is empowered by passion for your art form. I am a very positive person and strive to bring more beauty and joy into the world.”

    Music

  • “Georgia has a true passion for poetry and music and has composed musical settings for poems by some of the world’s foremost poets, including T.S. Eliot, Dante, and Wallace Stevens,” says Dr. Howard Cass, Musical Director & pianist of Ideation Productions.”

    Writing

  • “Growing up, I lived in a house filled with books which was inspiring and stimulating. I studied ballet as well as piano, and later, classical singing,”

    About

  • “I’d like my work to offer up a sense of hope and promise in these difficult times,” she said. “It’s very positive. It’s optimistic and that’s what I am trying to convey.”

    Theater

  • “I am highly sensitive to images and color as well as sound and words and it is thrilling to combine them all in one work. I have learned that creative work brings me both joy and wisdom as well as demanding self-discipline.”

    Film

  • “My favorite musical compositions are my setting of Dante’s Paradise, and my oratorio – Portraits of the 20th Century, capturing the scope of the 20th Century.”
