Betty Buckley is set to direct three concerts, entitled Story Songs, on March 28, 30, and 31 at The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. The concerts will showcase the work of students of Buckley’s Song Interpretation Workshops.

Story Songs includes music by composers/lyricists Stephen Sondheim, Stephen Schwartz, Alan Menken and Tim Rice, and Jason Robert Brown. Musical director is pianist Hans Grim. Featured performers will be Nikki Acosta, Nicole Barrett, Brandon Bolin, Dave Cave, Angela Davis, Marjorie Hayes, Jeanne Jones, Molly Moon, Tiffany Morgan, and Jennifer Taylor.

In her Song Interpretation Workshops, Buckley guides her students through a teaching philosophy that facilitates audience connection through songs and monologues. During her 39 years of teaching she has taught not only singers and actors but also professionals such as investment bankers and athletic coaches.

Proceeds from the concerts will benefit the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.
