SOUNDTRACK INFO
Based on the beautiful illustration story book by Richard Johnson, Once Upon A Snowstorm tells the story of a father and son who live an isolated life in the woods. When one day a howling snowstorm separates them, the boy falls asleep in the shelter of the trees. When he awakes, he is surrounded by some inquisitive woodland creatures – are they friends or are they foe?

My soundtrack is largely a digital soundscape. The live theatre version also includes solo violin performed by Fay Guiffo. See below for the album version.
