Wishing ~ Tree : 

A new musical play, 
inspired by historic events.

"Wishing ~ Tree" chronicles a family's journey through American history. From their origins in 1639 Cape Cod to their present-day life in Pittsburgh, a young girl discovers her roots through her grandfather's heartfelt stories, brought to life through original, folk and cover songs.

"Wishing ~ Tree" features 14 original songs and 12 traditional folk or cover songs arranged and orchestrated in the sound and spirit of traditional American music for five vocalists and a 10-piece ensemble of flute (doubling piccolo), oboe, two fiddlers, guitar, bass, two keyboards and two percussionists.
