is thrilled to announce her appointment as Instructor for "Musical Theatre for Teens"
at Arts Umbrella for the 2010-11 year...for course and

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.

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,
this
beautiful song relates the many stages of our lives...
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:

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."
