July 1-3, 2010: Kate's score for "The Body" was performed in a production mounted by The People's Company at the Theatre Royal Plymouth in the UK...this play with music, a very black comedy featuring a dead body (well, that is to say a live person playing a dead body), was written by award-winning playwright Nick Darke. For more information about licensing the play and Kate's music, visit Theatre Credits April 10th-11th, 2010: Elektra Women's Choir premiered Kate's arrangement of "Changed Forever"...visit Choral Arrangements to order your copy Written by Shari Ulrich, arranged
by Kate Polsky,
Shari says of the song: "My
father-in-law inspired this piece the evening his wife of 40 years
passed away. He shared stories about his life with me that he'd never
shared with anyone. I felt very privileged. Telling his story expanded
into the theme of how birth, death, love, war, and the myriad of life
events, forever change the lives of those they touch - in an instant."
This song was originally recorded on UHF II. For more information on Shari's work visit:
www.shariulrich.com.this beautiful song relates the many stages of our lives... Kate says of the song: "When initially inspired to arrange a work for Elektra written by a female Canadian artist, "Changed Forever" was the first and only song to come to mind. Elektra's members represent virtually every stage of a woman's life, and I don't know a single woman who hasn't experienced at least one thing Shari has written about in this song - I imagined Elektra as I arranged the piece and know that many lives will indeed be 'changed forever' when they hear Shari's incredible song sung by what I hope is only the first of many women's choirs to perform it." More Elektra info available @ www.elektra.ca On Saturday, October 24th, 2009, Kate directed a group of her students from both Carson Graham Secondary and the Sarah McLachlan Music Outreach who had been asked to sing back up vocals for DEAD MAN'S BONES, co-led by Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields.
