A LIFE IN MUSIC – LOST & FOUND
My Journey as a Musician with Hearing Loss
A “Talk & Play” presentation by Betty Hauck, viola & violin
For 50 years, Betty enjoyed a rich and rewarding career as a professional violist—until the day she realized that she had to retire because of progressive hearing loss.
For three years, she completely turned her back on music. In this “Talk & Play” presentation, she will tell the story of how various twists and turns led her back into sharing the joy of music while educat-ing and advocating for those with hearing loss.
Her talk will be punctuated by short musical selections on both violin and viola. The program is about one hour and includes Q&A at the end.
Saturday, September 22nd , 3:00-4:45 pm,
Hingham Library, 66 Leavitt St, Hingham, MA
Highlights of Betty’s career include performing for the Kennedys at the White House,
playing in a string quartet with Yo-Yo Ma and, as a founding member of the Apple Hill Chamber Players, touring the Middle East annually, performing and teaching young Palestinian and Jewish music students.
