Opera + Psychedelics

Our summer series, Creativity+ Voice, explores the various ways voice intersects in the creative process. Together, we will examine finding one’s artistic voice, being a voice for the voiceless, the power of silence, the pervasive power of language, music and so much more.

Robin Fisher is Professor of Voice at Sacramento State University in California and Director of Lingua e Canto, a summer program in Italy for college singers, which she founded in 2013. Her publications include a second edition of American Art Song & American Poetry, a collaboration with scholar/performer Ruth Friedberg, and The Selected Writings of John Duke (2007). She studied voice at the University of Vienna as a recipient of a Rotary Foundation grant, as well as the Hamburg State Conservatory as a Fulbright Scholar; she received her D.M.A. degree from the University of Texas at Austin. Under professional contract in Germany, Fisher performed over 15 leading operatic roles. Recordings include works for flute and soprano (The Nightingale Sings), and sacred American art songs with pianist Dalton Baldwin (God be in my Heart). Fisher’s students are active performers and teachers in major metropolitan centers in the USA and abroad.

Dan Ahlers, MD is a psychiatrist in his 4th and final year of residency at the UC Davis Medical Center. Originally from Hartford, CT, his interests include psychoanalytic psychotherapy, synthesizing eastern/western psychology, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

Part 2 of our Summer Series continues to explore the various ways that #Voice intersects in the creative process.
