Julie Gold has been quoted as expressing her philosophy that “the job of a song is to take a person on a musical journey for three minutes. In those three minutes, you can transport your listener to a better, higher place.” With that, her songs are simple melodies but complex language that have been recorded by many major artists.”
— Cabaret Scenes

Gold’s life was changed when she composed the masterpiece “From a Distance” on her Knight piano.  On February 20, 1991, Julie won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year.  On February 21, 2014, Julie Gold extended an open invitation to her composer friends to spend one hour each at the newly-restored “Magic Knight” piano, to see if they could access some of the piano’s magic.  Her only requirements were that they did not bring any preexisting ideas, just an open mind and heart. 

Since then, dozens of Julie’s friends have come from across the country to take her up on her offer, spending their own magical hour at the special instrument.  Now, in celebration of Julie’s 60^th birthday, those composers will gather together for the first time to perform their songs, and thank Julie for the gift she has given them.
