Mike O'Mara - Invidious

Mike O'Mara

I was a teacher, composer, writer and performer.

Here you’ll find several rehearsal and performance videos from my former students and colleagues featuring works I composed / wrote.

I taught piano, voice and composition out of my private studio both online and in-person, and ran workshops / wrote original works of music and theater with students and fellow artists.

Now I am slowly dying from post-mRNA vaccine injury / degenerative disease. I have currently (as of December 2024) been medically diagnosed with: CIDP, major polyaxonal neuropathy, POTS, and small fiber neuropathy, but I am also in the final testing stages of being diagnosed with incurable and untreatable mitochondrial myopathy, pending an upcoming muscle biopsy.

My songs and choral works are mostly self-published, and all can be licensed for use by contacting me here. I also have an on-line store with a few pieces at JW Pepper.

I truly appreciate everyone who ever stopped by and listened to any of my work.
