Mary Lou Falcone has lived most of her life away from the spotlight.
Fifty years ago, after brief careers as a performer and a teacher, Falcone changed course and became a leading publicist in the world of classical music.
Now, for the first time since she was 28, Falcone has put herself center stage to promote a new, personal cause.
In early 2019, her husband, the artist Nicholas Zann, was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia, a neurodegenerative disease.
In many ways, she is doing what she has always done: crafting a narrative, then sharing it.
