Meditations on The Gift of Awe New York Performances

At National Sawdust, singer-songwriter Morley presents a record-release performance for *Meditations on The Gift of Awe*. Framed as classical but built from folk, jazz, soul, and global sources, the music reflects her parallel work in dialogue facilitation and trauma-release settings with survivors of war and human trafficking. In New York City, National Sawdust’s role as a contemporary-music hub places the project in a lineage of artists testing what “classical” can hold. The result reads less like a concert narrative than a practiced ritual of listening.
