Charles Bloom's 'Christmas And You' Wins UK's Stephen Sondheim Society Christmas Competition

Composer Charles Bloom's "Christmas and You" has been selected as a winning song in London's Sondheim Society Christmas Competition. Forty-five entries were anonymously screened by a judging panel, which ultimately tied two songs for the prize. "Christmas and You" will be performed on December 16th at the Sondheim Society's holiday celebration in the Leicester Square Theatre.

"His cleverness never fails to amaze me," said Stephen Sondheim.

Charles Bloom is a New York based American composer-lyricist whose songs have been recorded or performed by Patti LuPone, Michael Feinstein, Mandy Patinkin and Howard McGillin, among many other notable theater and cabaret denizens. His diverse and admired song catalog includes cabaret, pop, country, jazz and special material.

For the theatre, he has written the book, music and lyrics to PABLO (about young Picasso), INSOMNIA and HEAVEN KNOWS, with a new project slated to begin in early 2014.

Music and Lyrics by Charles Bloom: IN HERE (Sonic Landscapes SLM CB 101) was produced, orchestrated and conducted by David Snyder.

The CD is available through Amazon, CDBaby, iTunes and other traditional and digital retailers. For additional information Charles Bloom's music visit: www.charlesbloomusic.com.
