World-renowned concert violinist Martha Curtis will perform at 3 p.m. on September 17, 2007 at PNC Recital Hall at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh.
Ms. Curtis suffered from epilepsy all her life. She took medication for years and learned how to co-exist with seizures, even from the stage. After having four generalized tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizures in a single month - three of them while performing on stage - Curtis was determined to become seizure-free, and convinced a team of doctors to remove much of her right brain. Today she inspires audiences through her performances of the music of Brahms and Bach combined with video, drawings of the brain systems and her own brain scans to tell an inspiring story.
The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call 412-396-6083.
