Cynosemma LA Times Review
Dear Friends,
We are riding high after our weekend of performances of Cynosemma: A Dirge From The Dog's Tomb at the Son of Semele theater. Thank you for those who were able to attend! We know the limited seating prevented many from seeing this initial workshop performance, so keep an eye out for when we premiere the final version of the piece in the early part of 2019.
I also wanted to share with you a wonderful review of the show from Mark Swed of the LA Times. In his review, he says, "The beauty of the opera..is finding where the differences lie between what is gray and what is silver, what is and what almost is."

Reflections on 40 Years
Dear friends,
This is the 40th year anniversary of Overtone Industries. Livia Reiner, who has pretty much grown up with Overtone, helping backstage and now performing with us, was interested in the history of the company and found some old pictures from our earliest productions.
It’s impossible to sum up so many years of work in a little paragraph. But here are some non-linear impressions from the last forty years ;-)
