Amy Kohn (born June 5, 1972) is an American composer, lyricist, singer, pianist, and accordionist.
The final thesis for her master's degree was her chamber-opera 1 Plum Sq, which was later produced and broadcast in 2005 on WNYC as part of their American Music Festival.
[1] In New York City Amy Kohn met the legendary producer Arif Mardin who dubbed her a "Musical Devil in a Red Dress" and chose Amy as a featured singer and accordionist on his last effort: an album of songs written by Mardin himself and produced in the last year of his life.
Also featured on this album are artists such as Norah Jones, Phil Collins, Raul Midón and Dianne Reeves.
She has worked on commissions from the string quartet Ethel of New York City, for pianist Guy Livingston (DVD: One Minute More) and for the children's theater company I Fantaghirò[7] of Padua, Italy.
