The evening will end on a high note with the premiere of two never before heard compositions - one of which will be performed live on the Corbett Auditorium stage by Stephen Flaherty himself!

The Music of Stephen Flaherty event will replace Moveable Feast for the 2022-23 academic year. Moveable Feast will return in person on Friday, January 19, 2024. The Music of Stephen Flaherty event was originally conceptualized and developed by the following CCM alumni, without whom this performance would not be possible: David Goldsmith (BFA Musical Theater, '85), Kevin McCollum (BFA Musical Theater, '84; HonDoc, '05), Jeff Saver (BM Piano, '79) and Jim Semmelman (BFA Musical Theater, '76).
