Michael Redmond has written about the arts and cultural affairs for The Star-Ledger, The Princeton Packet, Opera News, Symphony Magazine, Lincoln Center Playbill, and Carnegie Hall Playbill, among other publications and websites. He has been recognized for “Distinguished Service to the Arts” by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and for excellence in Critical Writing by the New Jersey Press Association. A lifelong resident of the Garden State, Redmond is a lapsed pianist, a hapless acrobat, a card-carrying member of the Newark Public Library, a master of polyglot Scrabble, and an occasional poetaster. He keeps his Turnpike road-warrior skills sharp.
