About

Lorah and Fre at Last

Lorah Yaccarino describes music as a creative expression and time spent in nature as both healing and transformational.

Yaccarino enjoys collaborations with like-minded musicians, dancers, spoken word artists and visual artists. She explained that many people think of improvisation as a free-for-all without any parameters, when actually it most often starts off with an intention, a beat, a phrase or a movement, and builds or breaks down from there.

“In allowing form and formlessness to merge, there is a fluidity that occurs outside the restraint of typical composition,” Yaccarino said. “To me that fluidity is a grace that can be shared that’s both inspirational and fun.”

Yaccarino’s career in music and healing began in the early ‘80s doing performance poetry in the New York City club scene, forming several bands, and stage managing for The Women’s Experimental Theatre. In the ‘90s, she relocated to upstate New York, where she focused more of her attention on music and the healing it could offer.
