Music SCL NEW YORK SONGARTS CHAIR

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2020

 3:00-5:00pm PST // 6:00-8:00pm EST

SCL SongArts held its first Global SongDemic on June 27, 2020, teaming US-based songwriters with collaborators from around the world. The 26 song presentations were of such a high standard that SongArts LA and New York decided to invite music supervisors and our membership to hear them: Sync Sessions #9 and #10. 

The SongDemic featured 26 new songs, so the SongArts team divided the ‘second run’ into two events, one hosted by LA (October 7) and this event, hosted by New York.

The New York event will focus on the results of these 13 songwriter pairings – click their names below for an Instagram preview:
