Marilyn Rosen, Symphony Booking Agent talks with Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of
OUTTAKE VOICES™ about
their recent marriage that took place at Scullers Jazz Club before
friends and family. The ceremony was performed by Elyse Cherry, CEO of
Boston Community Capital and one of the architects of marriage equality
in Massachusetts. It was an untraditional Jewish service that included
exchanging vows, rings and the breaking of glass. Marilyn and Charlotte
have been together for almost 17 years and began planning their wedding
after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the Defense of Marriage Act
unconstitutional in 2013. The intimate gathering of 80 were then
entertained by the world-renowned band Pink Martini who Rosen represents
nationally for symphony performances. Marilyn and Charlotte talk about
their marriage experience and give their spin on our LGBT issues.
When asked what they would like to see happen for LGBT equality,
Robinson stated, “After getting married and feeling what it’s like to be
married; it does feel different. It feels more secure and legitimate in
so many ways. What I would like to see and Marilyn and I agree on this
is we would like to see the Supreme Court to finally rule that gay and
lesbian marriages across the country would become legal as soon as
possible because this legal procrastination that’s going on is really
hurting our community, our LGBT community and it’s also keeping them
from having this kind of joyous event that we had.
I think that enough is enough and marriage equality should be passed in
the United States if not globally.”
Marilyn is CEO of Marilyn Rosen Presents, a boutique agency specializing
in Symphonic and International bookings with an emphasis on the
American Songbook, Broadway and Cabaret, as well as global sounds and
nostalgia. A 22-year veteran of the music industry, Rosen spent nearly
two decades booking tours internationally for artists including Pat
Metheny, Wynton Marsalis, Nina Simone, Chris Botti, Chick Corea and
Sonny Rollins while developing a new Symphony Division representing over
20 Artists. One of the first groups Rosen signed to her symphony
division was Portland Oregon-based band, Pink Martini, which has since
reached worldwide acclaim. In addition to Pink Martini's staggering
achievements, Rosen has bolstered the Symphonic profiles for artists
including Ann Hampton Callaway, The Von Trapps, New York Voices and many
others. (Paul Robinson Photos)
