Music Artists
Marcy Baruch Bio
If the stars could sing a love song, they might sound like the voice of Marcy Baruch (Bah-roosh). Filled with radiant warmth and honesty, her music is born of a calling to connect with others on thresholds of wonder and awe, in experiences of beauty, resonance, and somatically felt love, and in fields of shared being with all beings that open us to our original innocence and unfolding magnificence as we welcome the potentials hidden and revealed within all of who we truly are. Her third CD, The Strength of Love, birthed the award-winning song, This Inner Space. Through multiple styles she brings a songwriter’s creativity to live settings, and a joy for bringing together the coalescing of voices, singing as one, through Kirtan and chant shaped by various spiritual paths. Her voice has graced over 30 albums with intricate harmony vocals, and her house welcomes many a voice student! She is thrilled to be here this week, as we “Reimagine Your World.”
