Tina Davidson: Let Your Heart Be Broken
Composer and author Tina Davidson’s memoir, Let Your Heart Be Broken, is available in audiobook format on all major platforms starting August 12, 2025 via publisher Boyle & Dalton. The audiobook, read by Davidson herself, features her music woven throughout, interspersed in sections where she discusses the compositions’ creation. This rare look inside a composer’s creative process juxtaposes recordings of Davidson’s music, memories, journal entries, and insights into the life of an artist and mother at work. Let Your Heart Be Broken was published in hardback and paperback in 2023.“Part of my commitment as a composer is to bring others into my musical world, both through the music itself and by writing about my creative process,” says Tina Davidson. “By weaving my compositions into the chapters of this audiobook containing my journals, I'm creating a bridge between my inner creative practice and the finished work, opening the door for listeners to understand and connect more deeply.”FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/tinadavidsoncomposerauthor/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tinadavidson.music/Web Page: http://www.tinadavidson.comHear the music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2y5Z17bEilAiViMp9FMuJhOrder the memoir: https://www.amazon.com/Let-Your-Heart-Broken-Classical/dp/1633376966/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1677079964&sr=1-1BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/tinadavidson.bsky.socialSubStack: https://tdavid508.substack.com/publish/homeMake sure you SUBSCRIBE to Crushing Classical, and maybe even leave a nice review!
