Victor Lemonte Wooten, Music Keynote Speaker

Victor Lemonte Wooten, a five-time Grammy winner, hit the worldwide scene in 1990 as a founding member of the Béla Fleck and the Flecktones. Victor is also widely known for his own Grammy nominated solo recordings and tours. 

Victor is a skilled naturalist and teacher, a published author, and has won every major award given to a bass guitarist. In 2011, Rolling Stone Magazine voted Victor one of the Top Ten Bassists of ALL TIME. Victor continues to record and tour with the Flecktones, various other artists, and as a solo artist.

In 2000 Victor formed his acclaimed Bass/Nature Camp, which expanded into Victor Wooten's Center for Music and Nature. The "intensive" style programs, now in its 25th year, welcome all instrumentation and vocalists from all over the world, enhancing their musical and personal lives. 

April 1st, 2008, Victor released The Music Lesson--A Spiritual Search for Growth Through Music, a self-published novel about Life and Music. The book quickly became a "must-read" for musicians worldwide. Offering an intriguing story full of anecdotes and mysticism, The Music Lesson has helped free the minds of musicians worldwide. The Music Lesson is currently used as required reading and part of curricula in study groups, schools, and universities including the prestigious Berklee College of Music and Stanford University.

Heidi Moss Erickson, Research Keynote Speaker

Heidi Moss Erickson, MS, BMu, received a dual biology and voice degree at Oberlin where she worked in the voice lab of Richard Miller. Her more than 20 year performing career spans both opera and concert repertoire, with a focus on new music. Her scientific achievements include a landmark paper in the journal Cell. In 2007 she came down with a rare Central Nervous System VII nerve injury which resurrected her passion for how the brain controls the voice. 

Heidi’s courses and lectures have been featured both nationally and internationally at conferences and universities, including Renee Fleming’s Music and Mind series. Her many published writings link neuroscience with vocal pedagogy, therapy, and rehabilitation. She is an Assistant Professor at University of the Pacific, home of the oldest music therapy program in California.
