About the Songwriter’s Workshop
Savannah Music Festival is proud to present an inspiring concert featuring original new works by eight Savannah-area musicians. The concert is the finale performance of SMF's 2024-25 Songwriting Workshop, led by Artist in Residence Kaia Kater.
Hand-selected by Kater, the participating songwriters range in age from 18 to 62 and represent both beloved Savannah talents and emerging voices. Over the past year, each songwriter has received personalized mentorship from Kater, industry guidance, and participated in immersive multi-day workshops designed to refine their craft.
“These musicians are a perfect example of the talent that is right here in Savannah,” said SMF Artistic Director Ryan McMaken. “We are so happy to showcase these wonderful musicians and fresh new voices alongside Kaia, who is always an engaging performer and masterful storyteller." Adds Kater, "It has been wonderful to watch these artists grow over the last twelve months. I have just been blown away by their talent. This concert is going to be a real treat."
The concert will feature new songs written over the course of Kater's twelve month residency, as well as selections from Kater herself.
