The producer of the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage calls Elise Witt “a performer to remember with international savvy & personal charm.” Elise was born in Switzerland, raised in North Carolina, and since 1977 has made her home in Atlanta. She speaks five languages fluently, sings in over a dozen more, and has been a cultural ambassador to South Africa, Italy, Nicaragua, Switzerland, and China. A songwriter and composer, she tours the United States and the world with her Global, Local & Homemade Songs™. 2009 marked the release of Valise, Elise’s 11th recording for EMWorld Records, as well as the premiere of the Elise Witt Choral Series.
