9/21/2012 ISS Member Lois Morton is presenting As I See It: Humorous Songs of Social Commentary at venues throughout Long Island this fall. Click here for details (PDF).

Lois Morton is an accomplished and inventive songwriter with humor and musical roots that range from Edith Piaf, to Tom Lehrer and Gilbert and Sullivan. "Humorous?" No. "Hysterical", is more like it. Our society is funnier than we realize and no one points that out better than Lois Morton.

9/21/2012 ISS Member Alex LoredoStone was selected to perform at the Freshman Showcase at Five Towns College at 8pm, Thursday, Septempber 27 in the Dix Hills Performing Arts Center.

Alex is a very talented young composer who writes and performs on the piano. His compositions are sophisticated, poetic, heady and hauntingly beautiful, cascading through keys and time signatures like a waterfall. Apparent influences might include Scriabin, Debussy and Satie.

Few songwriters have the honor of being recorded by a fellow artist, let alone a songwriter as gifted as Mr. Crici. This is truly a labor of love - to invest so much time, talent and effort into the work of another. We are officially humbled.
