Learn about the benefits of singing and how singing physically works in the body with vocalist Kathryn Findlen.

For those curious about the voice but not interested in the formal experience of being in a choir, this talk breaks down barriers to finding one’s voice. Kathryn will demonstrate and lead attendees through some breath, posture, and simple vocalization exercises in this interactive workshop. 

Enjoy the positive wellness impacts from:

  • the social connection of singing with others
  • the health benefits of breath work
  • cognitive processes
  • endorphin release
  • physical coordination required in the act of singing

Kathryn Findlen is a professional classical mezzo soprano (opera, oratorio, symphony, chamber, and solo) as well as a music educator and artistic director. She trained at the Brevard Music Center Opera Program, holds a Bachelor of Music from the University of the North Carolina School of the Arts, and a Master of Music from the University of Texas at Austin.

Space is limited. Please register for this event.

This program is sponsored by the Friends of Memorial Hall Library.
