On November 23, 2019, over 50 musicians and more than 300 audience members gathered at the Chosewood Arts Complex in Atlanta to celebrate the release of ALL SINGING: THE ELISE WITT SONGBOOK.

Designed by Jessica Lily, with music engraving by David Marcus, the Songbook contains 58 original songs with music notation, lyrics and chords, graphics, photos, and lots of stories.

The concert raised over $12,000 for the Global Village Project, a school for teenage refugee girls with interrupted education, where I serve as Artist-in-Residence and Director of Music Programs.
