Singer-Songwriter Lara Herscovitch at the Kate

The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, The Kate, welcomes singer-songwriter and former Connecticut State Troubadour Lara Herscovitch on Friday, Jan. 12, at 8 p.m..

Herscovitch is a singer-songwriter-poet-performer-author gem. As described in The Boston Globe, she brings “a luminous voice and a buoyant stage presence… big-hearted lyrics embrace the sum of life… Herscovitch’s music blows on the embers of a lagging spirit or a dormant creative life.” Herscovitch leads with authenticity, integrity, humor, and heart. Her songs are soulful, poetic treasure maps that point to the wisdom, grit, and joy of underdogs and misfits, connection and courage, love and loss, hardship and hope, resilience, and transformation.

The perspective and wisdom in Herscovitch’s artistry come from decades of humanitarian work in the U.S., Latin America, Asia, and Africa, focused on education, community development, environmental protection, and justice system reform. This depth of experience and commitment resonates throughout her music, all traveling on a voice that Performer Magazine called “clear and smooth like expensive liquor.”
