Galvin Recital Hall
Heidi Moss Erickson, soprano; Kurt Erickson, piano
This event is made possible by the Filstrup Fund for Voice, Health and Wellness.
In 2007, soprano and scientist Heidi Moss Erickson suffered a cranial nerve injury that nearly ended her performing career. Determined to retrain and perform again, she harnessed her research background to embark on a journey toward self-rehabilitation. Her discoveries about the connections between the brain, music, and vocalization have allowed her to see singing in a new light and motivated her to educate new generations of singers through her insights. Together with her husband—composer, pianist, and pedagogue Kurt Erickson—she weaves together music, neuroscience, literature, and personal narratives for a reflection on how our stories shape the art we create.
Tickets are $10 for the general public and $5 for students with valid ID.
