Music

An enormous thank you to the HUNDREDS of individuals who made this EP “mini CD” possible. Let’s begin with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, without whom this EP would not have been funded. Their impact grant awards allowed us to work from a variety of studios around the world, enabled us to record from home as needed, and helped us expand our participation. [Patients/Performers/Participants] had the choice to record in the comfort of their home or in a local, professional studio. Abiding by infection protocol is important to our mission, so this kept everyone safe and sound during the Covid19 outbreak and did not delay production.

A second thank you to the Rock CF Foundation whose sponsorship funded our New York travel. Not only were we able to bring our two leading ladies to a professional studio, but we were able to host our first (socially distanced) in-person workshop at PianoPiano Studios. The present creative team Nicole Kohr (creator, book, lyrics), Beth Falcone (book, lyrics, music), and Sarah Rose (dir.) surged through the script’s latest edits thanks to the in-person studio time.

Thank you to James “Jim” Hawkins and Chocolate Box Studios who spent well over 3 years coordinating, editing, recording, re-recording, re-editing, and producing this album.

Thank you to every volunteer who took part in this making of this musical. They are responsible for the beautiful music that you will hear beginning on May 1, 2023. From the lyrics, to the music composition, to the instrumentation, to the vocals, to the direction, to the editing and mixing… this album was made by and for the cystic fibrosis community. 

Thank you to every donor and sponsor whose financial contributions went toward audio equipment, studio equipment and rentals, copyright, production costs, travel, editing fees, etc.

Thank you to the cystic fibrosis community who inspired us to make this album in the first place. Thank you for inspiring us, applauding, following, listening, and accepting us with open arms.

Thank you to all of the medical professionals and to the organ donor who have kept creator Nicole Kohr with us for over 30 years.
