Legendary folksinger and author Judy Collins was a mere 13 years old when she made her public musical debut, performing Mozart’s “Concerto for Two Pianos.” She went on to enjoy an extraordinary career as a singer and accomplished author.
After recording almost 40 albums, Collins, 66, will visit Oklahoma City University to discuss her new book Sanity and Grace, a deeply moving memoir, focusing on the suicide of her only son and the healing process that followed. She will speak at 7:30 p.m. March 28 in Henry J. Freede Wellness & Activity Center, NW 27th Street and Florida Avenue.
The book speaks to all who have experienced the premature and sudden loss of a loved one. During her suffering, Collins found relief by reaching out to others for help and support. Now, she extends her hand to comfort those whose lives have been affected by similar tragedy.
The lecture is free to the public, but seating is limited. Doors open at 6 p.m. For more information, call (405) 208-4956 or visit www.okcu.edu.
“Suffering is the price of being alive,” Collins said, “And it is music and singing and art that have helped me live through some of the most difficult things that have happened to me.”
