Yes! I sang one of her songs ("Homeless", in the mezzo range) at a concert that she attended earlier this year. I got to speak with her afterwards, and as I understand it, she writes exclusively (or nearly so) for the voice. One of her good friends is a local singer who is *very* good, and Ms. Laitman indicated that she is able to "test-drive" [my words] some of her works. This helps to explain (partly, of course) why her music is very yummy to sing -- very vocal writing. I'm pretty sure I've got her email address on a card, somewhere at the bottom of the piles of stuff on my desk, so if someone wants to contact her, email me privately and I'll search for it. You might also be able to do a search on her name on a search engine.
I'm glad to see she's got her music out on a CD -- do you know who's singing on it?
