Ellen Boscov is a multidisciplinary artist (a composer, writer and performer). Her art song Green Tree was released as a music video directed and produced by Carla Dauden in July 2016.[1] Long before Ellen studied music, she wrote the poem, Green Tree. A desire to set her poetry to music led her to learn about musical composition. Ellen also wrote the script for the Green Tree video.
