The Voice
TPAC’s Polk Theater

We all know Music City produces some of the world’s most famous singers. What you may not know is that Music City is also the home of the world-renowned clinical center that takes care of those famous voices, the Vanderbilt Voice Center. Doctors Robert Ossoff and Thomas Cleveland will teach us how the voice works, how to take care of our voices, and when therapy and surgery are appropriate. With photographs, live demonstration, and performance excerpts, the doctors will help us all to keep on singing!
