Welcome - Melissa Errico

“Melissa Errico is a unique force in the musical life of New York City: a Broadway star, a concert artist, an author who regularly contributes essays to the New York Times, and who’s been called a leading interpreter of the music of Michel Legrand & Stephen Sondheim. There’s really no one like her.”

– Steven Reineke, conductor of The New York Pops at Carnegie Hall

The Story of a Rose

a Musical Reverie on the Great War

With her trademark smarts and sublime singing, Melissa Errico tells the story of her own great Aunt Rose and her grandmother as they came over from Italy by boat during WW1 and immediately took up work as seamstresses at the Brooklyn Navy Yard making uniforms for the war. A musical memoir full of early jazz ragtime flair & elegant storytelling, Melissa pieces together love letters, authentic songs, stories of friendships, and scraps of the memories of lovers & sons to bring another time back into focus. She will stir our hearts to recall how life, for an entire generation, would never be the same again. This Rose becomes a memorial for many.
