Short Bio
For several years Miss Shimeta devoted time to discovering and recording works from the rich repertoire of American composer Gena Branscombe (1881-1977). “Ah, Love I Shall Find Thee: Songs of Gena Branscombe,” now available on Albany Records, is a collaboration of the singer with accompanist Martin Hennessy. Kathleen’s one-woman show, “Life, Love, Song! A Visit with Gena Branscombe,” showcases fifteen of Miss Branscombe’s elegantly lyric songs with a vivid first-person dialogue performed and written by Ms. Shimeta and co-authored by Evan Pappas. The show gives tribute to a woman ahead of her time, a pioneer for today’s women composers.
