Laura Greenberg

Laura Greenberg studied English literature and music at Brooklyn College, Manhattan School of Music, City College and Columbia Universty. She teaches music at CUNY's John Jay College. Her compositions have been performed in the U.S. and abroad, and recorded by Opus ONe Records and Vienna Modern Masters. She is the author of Memorizing Time (Portamento Press, 2000), a memoir of her Brooklyn childhood as a young musician, her struggle to leave home during the turbulent sixties, and her evolution into a modern, urban composer. The memoir depicts encounters with music teachers who changed her life and many extraordinary lessons, both taken and given. It is a profoundly personal story of one woman's progress through the second half of the twentieth century. - Amazon
