In the 2007-08 season, Ms. Alderson debuts her new show, Songs of the Little Sparrow, celebrating the music and life of Edith Piaf. She continues touring her international cabaret program, An American Girl in Paris, World War II, with shows from Atlantic City to the southern states. Her latest release, Songs from the Heart, a collection of love songs through the centuries, is a project conceived and recorded live at Heinz Memorial Chapel in Pittsburgh.
