Karen Marrolli

This week on Moveable Do, Steve welcomes composer, conductor, and singer-songwriter Karen Marrolli. With a career spanning sacred music, community outreach, and intimate storytelling, Karen brings a dynamic and deeply human perspective to everything she creates. From her work as Director of Music Ministries in Albuquerque to founding the powerful Lux Aeterna choir, her music uplifts, provokes, and heals.

In this episode, Karen shares the origins of her musical path, how her songwriting heroes influence her choral voice, and the ways her personal spirituality and storytelling instincts shape her process. You’ll hear about her Celtic-inspired Christmas collection, her haunting environmental anthem Sing Unto the Sky, and the interplay of text and melody in her original works. Plus—hear what she’d call the reality show of her life!
