🎶 Worlds of Song 🎶 unites lyric artists who transcend borders and traditions. The performance features solo sets, duets, and trios—creating a “one-time-only” concert experience that celebrates the diversity and unity of human-created music.
The second edition of Worlds of Song, touring in October 2026, highlights the guitar and lyrics of Brian Gore, Guitar Poet; the vocal and fiddle work of Lily Henley; and the revisited, modern bossa nova sounds of Will Santt.
🎻 Lily Henley: A singer, songwriter, and fiddler whose music bridges American folk and Sephardic Jewish traditions, Lily weaves storytelling into richly textured soundscapes. Her work has been praised for its emotional intensity, fluid phrasing, and cross-cultural integration.
🎤 Will Santt: A Brazilian singer-guitarist working in bossa nova, Will blends the classic elegance of the genre with his own rhythmic and melodic sensibility. His soft, intimate vocals and guitar reflect the lineage of João Gilberto and Tom Jobim in a contemporary voice.
🎸 Brian Gore – Guitar Poet: Founder of International Guitar Night, Brian is known for his lyrical fingerstyle guitar and evocative singer-songwriting. His music blends narrative depth with intricate playing, featuring collaborations with musicians from across the globe.
In our workshops, Brian Gore guides participants from freewriting to finished songs while demonstrating his percussive “one-man band” techniques. Lily Henley explores the challenges of preserving the Ladino language and other nondominant cultural traditions through song. Will Santt shares rhythmic and structural insights from Brazilian bossa nova.
In our outreach programs, participants are invited to join in folk refrains, call and response, and Brazilian rhythms, celebrating lyric and vocal work as a communal act.
