*“The Art of Diane Esmond Presented by Her Son"
with Victor Wallis*

Diane Esmond (1910-1981) was an artist who lived most of her life in 
France, except for a period of exile in the U.S. during and after World 
War II. Victor’s slide-show, while giving an intimate view of her life, 
will display a sampling of her paintings, which ranged over many 
subjects but culminated in her vivid evocations of the tropical forest.

*• Victor Wallis* teaches History and Political Science at the Berklee 
College of Music. He is the author of Red-Green Revolution (2018), 
Democracy Denied (2019), and Socialist Practice (2020). After his mother 
returned to France (in the mid-1950s), she stayed in touch with him for 
most of each year through letters. This correspondence informs his 
narrative of her life.

*JEAN ROHE* writes one-of-a-kind narrative songs, concerned as much with 
the internal world as with the external. Her latest record as a 
bandleader, Sisterly, produced by longtime collaborator Liam Robinson, 
is a collection of songs about communication and missed connections, and 
tackles topics from love, lust, and longing to prisons, police violence, 
and migration. Sisterly won best Adult Contemporary Album at the 
Independent Music Awards in 2019.

A prolific songwriter, Jean is perhaps best known for her video single, 
“National Anthem: Arise! Arise!” an aspirational alternative national 
anthem performed live with brass ensemble and choir, which has now been 
covered hundreds of times by soloists and choirs across the US. Most 
recently, her co-write with Liam Robinson, “The Longest Winter” was 
featured on the 2020 Hadestown cast holiday album. Her award-winning 
2013 release Jean Rohe & The End of the World Show was hailed by an 
Elmore Magazine reviewer as “enchanting” and “remarkable in so many ways 
I can think of no comparison.”

Jean tours internationally as a soloist, bandleader, and with Robinson & 
Rohe, her rootsy songwriting duo, but she is also a devoted songwriting 
mentor, working with adult writers and youth alike to foster a love of 
the writing process. For nearly a decade she has been a Carnegie Hall 
artist, creating lullabies with incarcerated parents on Rikers Island 
through the Lullaby Project and mentoring songwriters through Musical 
Connections at Sing Sing Prison. She offers private and group 
songwriting lessons periodically through the year, and this fall she 
joins the part time faculty at The New School Jazz and Contemporary 
Music Program teaching songwriting.
