<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><BR>"Where I Live" was originally commissioned by the Denver Women's Chorus in 1999 when they discovered that four out of six members of their music selection committee were daughters of breast cancer survivors.  It has subsequently been performed in Colorado Springs, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Portland, Grand Rapids, and other cities.   Ms. Benjamin says of the piece, "Where I Live was both a difficult and an easy piece to write. In 1998, one of my friends was diagnosed with breast cancer. Katherine graciously allowed me to become part of her journey, as she found a path of healing and courage through this life-threatening condition. I wanted to create a piece that would offer support to those living with and surviving cancer, validating their experience. I wanted to create something that would encourage their loved ones, family and friends, and that would inspire others in the community to step forward and help. I wanted to raise questions about the role of environmental pollution and the importance of focusing on cancer prevention, not just diagnosis and treatment. And I wanted to create something beautiful and healing for all of us. I hope I have succeeded." </P>
