You’re invited to experience Andrea Gibson’s Love Letter from the Afterlife with Megan Falley, the Chicago Philharmonic, and Extremely Special Guests. This multimedia event brings together film, live poetry, music, and intimate storytelling in celebration of one of the most beloved voices of a generation.
At the heart of the evening is the film Love Letter from the Afterlife which captured Andrea Gibson’s final live performance: a brilliant, brave, tender, and raucous poetry set recorded at Denver’s Paramount Theatre in 2024. The Chicago Philharmonic will perform Blake Neely’s original score live accompaniment, creating a deeply immersive experience that expands the poetry beyond the screen. The film was produced by the team behind the Oscar-nominated documentary, Come See Me in the Good Light.
Guest artists will join throughout the night, coupled with film and performances that will transform each stop into a living, breathing composition and a singular celebration of Gibson’s work. Threading the night together is Megan Falley—Andrea's wife, fellow poet, who will share intimate stories of love, collaboration, humor, and artistic kinship. Through Falley's narration, audiences will discover the relationships and moments of serendipity connecting each guest artist to Andrea's life and enduring legacy.
Part concert, part cinema, part communal celebration, the Love Letter from the Afterlife tour invites audiences to experience Andrea Gibson's work the way it has always been meant to be experienced: together.
“When I chose to name the show Love Letter from the Afterlife, I didn’t realize how fully I was describing what was about to happen. At Red Rocks, ten thousand of us arrived believing we had come to remember Andrea. We left feeling we had heard from them directly. Nothing can replace being in a room with Andrea. But for anyone who never had that good fortune, I hope this tour offers something I didn’t know was possible: the feeling that Andrea is still speaking, and speaking directly to you,” said Falley.
