MARIA CORSARO celebrates the release of her new album "Love Makes the Changes" at JAZZ ON MAIN in Mt. Kisco, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, at 7:00 PM. With musical director/arranger GREGORY TOROIAN on piano, SKIP WARD on bass, DAVID SILLIMAN on drums, and MARK FINEBERG on saxophone and flute, Corsaro performs timeless swing, ballads and bossa style tunes, directed by the album’s producer, DAVID FRIEDMAN. 

Of Corsaro's live album release party on November 22 at Chelsea Table + Stage, Ellen Woloshin of Music Connection Magazine noted, "Her love and execution of the material is impressive and it's refreshing to hear these songs that you don't often hear live these days."

The album LOVE MAKES THE CHANGES is available now on Spotify and Apple Music. For more info, go to mariacorsaro.com/album. This recording, a year-long labor of love, focuses on the lifelong journey of love: the joy, the hope, the heartache, the beginning, the end, and everything in between, through the music of McCoy Tyner, Michel Legrand, Ennio Morricone, Bill Evans, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Roger Kellaway and more! 

"Maria Corsaro’s new album 'Love Makes the Changes' is an example of what happens when a vocalist fully embraces jazz as an expressive language. Her voice moves with the clarity, warmth, and narrative poise of a seasoned storyteller, while the spirit of jazz shapes her phrasing from the inside out." ~ Constance Tucker, All About Vocals

“Here is a woman who has chosen an emotional and heartfelt repertoire of beautiful music and poignant lyrics. The arrangements are rich and creative. This is a project both cabaret lovers and jazz aficionados can enjoy.” ~ Dee Dee McNeil, Musicalmemoirs

Cast and Creative Team for Maria Corsaro: Love Makes the Changes at Jazz On Main

Cast

Maria Corsaro
Vocalist
Maria Corsaro’s love of music and performing began early in her life. She received her first undergraduate degree in theater and after graduation joined an Off-Broadway theater company. Then, after years in a rewarding, but non-musical career, she returned to singing. Her recent focus has been returning to her love of jazz and the music of legendary jazz composers and lyricists. This is the music of her heart. She wants her audience to experience the emotional texture of this great American art form. She feels passionately that music feeds the soul and is the creative result of musical collaboration. In November 2025, Corsaro celebrated the her debut album Love Makes the Changes with an album release show; in March 2023, Corsaro performed songs inspired by her philosophy of life in Why Not?; and in November 2023, she performed I Could Get Used to This! All three shows are directed by David Friedman with musical direction by Gregory Toroian. In 2022, she completed a successful run of her show, You Taught My Heart to Sing, with the Gregory Toroian trio and directed by Sue Matsuki, at Pangea. The jazz-inspired show consisted of songs where lyrics were added to instrumental compositions – sometimes years later. In addition to Chelsea Table + Stage, Don’t Tell Mama, Laurie Beechman Theatre, and Pangea in NYC, Corsaro has performed at Maureen’s Jazz Cellar in Nyack, NY, Jazz On Main in Mount Kisco, NY, The Magnolia Room in Norwalk, CT, Club Cafe in Boston, MA, and Deer Head Inn in Delaware Water Gap, PA. www.MariaCorsaro.com
