Information for the Meeting Planner
“Martha just destroyed brain theories with no charts, no graphs. She made statements, put up her violin to drive them home, and the music was unarguable!” Robert Zajonc Psychology Department Stanford University
“The story of Martha Curtis’ indomitable courage and achievement is inspiring and uplifting, a testament to the untapped possibilities of the human mind and will.” Charles Castleman Eastman School of Music |

At universities throughout the US, Ms. Curtis combines music, video, drawings of the brain systems, her own personal brain scans and her inspiring story. She uses Brahms and Solo Bach to make clear her understanding of the inner landscape. Music is so much more specific than words. This presentation has been done for various classes in conjunction with the Lecture Recital during visits to many college campuses. She has also presented at neuroscience and epilepsy conferences worldwide. |

Martha appears regularly on recital and lecture series, with orchestras, and as a guest teacher. Her classes include Psychology, Neuro-psychology, Education, Philosophy, Violin Master Classes, and Leadership Conferences. Because she knows her own medical case well and can perform in both words and music, she brings to stage unique insight from the inner world of the human being. References include:

“Hundreds of student and faculty shared this unique demonstration of courage and will power. We marveled at her ability to tell such a personal story in a way that captured our interest without any sentimentality or maudlin dramatics. When she began to play it all came together. This is the esthetic force that drives her will to go beyond survival and to thrive and grow in the music.” Philip G. Zimbardo Professor of Psychology Stanford University
