Transformative listening | Marian Dolan | TEDxCoconutGrove

As a choral conductor, Marian Dolan examines silences broken by stories told through song and the level of understanding and compassion we can achieve if we listen. These musical stories give us an opportunity to better the world by listening and allowing others to heal by sharing their stories. Marian Dolan is a musician. When asked what she plays, she smiles and answers: people. She’s a choral conductor, so her ‘instrument’ is literally a very human one. Together, a chorus and director are artistic storytellers, singing stories-in-song, whether from the 9th or the 21st centuries, whether from Estonia or Korea or South Africa, whether embodied in stories of courage from 9-11 or in stories of transformation from gender violence survivors. Breaking boundaries to sing stories means being a bridge-builder of connection and community. Founding Artistic Director of The Choir Project (Naples, FL) and former university professor, Marian has conducted or given workshops in Estonia, Finland, Germany, the Philippines, South Africa, Canada, Argentina and Sweden. She holds graduate degrees from Yale School of Music, where she received the first doctorate in choral conducting granted to a woman. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
