Celebrate World Voice Day With Ed Program,

Broadway Actors

FARMINGTON — World Voice Day is observed to appreciate voices and to raise awareness about vocal health. At the UConn Health Center, the day will be celebrated Saturday, May 15, with a program that explores age-related issues throughout the life span of the voice.

The free educational program is open to the community as well as musicians, singers, and students who are pursuing health careers such as speech pathology. It will run from 8:30 am to noon in Keller Auditorium, and will include educational presentations about vocal health and care for various age groups, and exercise and advice to increase vocal longevity.

This year, the program will also include guest performances by Broadway veterans Flo Lacey (Evita) and Charles Pistone (Les Miserables), followed by a discussion of vocal aging and the professional singer.

The event is being presented by the Health Center’s Voice and Speech Clinic. To register, call 800-535-6232.
