Lauded for her authentic voice,\u00a0The New York Times\u00a0has praised her \u201cvivid ear for harmony and colors.\u201d\u00a0Opera News\u00a0describes Tina Davidson\u2019s music as, \u201ctransfigured beauty,\u201d and the\u00a0Philadelphia Inquirer\u00a0writes that she writes \u201creal music, with structure, mood, novelty and harmonic sophistication \u2013 with haunting melodies that grow out of complex, repetitive rhythms.\"\u00a0Her book,\u00a0Let Your Heart Be Broken, was published in 2023. Her memoir traces her extraordinary life in equally lyrical language, juxtaposing memories, journal entries, notes on compositions in progress, and insights into the life of an artist \u2013 and a mother \u2013 at work.\u00a0\u00a0Over her forty-five year career, Davidson has been commissioned by well-known ensembles such as National Symphony Orchestra, OperaDelaware, Roanoke Symphony, VocalEssence, Kronos Quartet, Cassatt Quartet, and public television (WHYY-TV). Her music has been widely performed by many orchestras and ensembles, including The Philadelphia Orchestra, American Composers Orchestra, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Rel\u00e2che Ensemble, and Orchestra 2001.\u00a0She is recorded on Albany Records, New World Records, and\u00a0Deutsche Grammophone.On this episode of Trauma Hiders Club, we talk about forgiveness, reparenting, and the extraordinary power of music to soothe the soul as Tina shares her powerful story.From discovering her adoption at a tender age, the profound effects it had on her sense of identity and belonging and how music changed and became a part of her identity and life.You\u2019ll hear about the secrecy she shrouded her adoption in and the eventual emotional upheaval of leaving their foster family.\u00a0Tina's experiences shed light on the complex dynamics of family and attachment. With an artistic career as a backdrop, Tina has confronted her trauma, and is firmly on the path towards healing and self-discovery.\u201cFrom a very early age, I don't want to say music was my alter ego, but it was a place that I could be safe.\u201d Tina DavidsonThis Week on Trauma Hiders Club:\u2022 Gilbert and Sullivan\u2022 Melodies\u2022 Adoption\u2022 Growth over dysfunction\u2022 Forgiveness\u2022 Reparenting\u2022 Teaching\u2022 Story through music\u00a0Resources:Tina Davidson\u2019s Website: https://www.tinadavidson.com/ (https://www.tinadavidson.com/)Tina on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tina.davidson.5205/ (https://www.facebook.com/tina.davidson.5205/)Tina on IG: https://www.instagram.com/tinadavidson.music/ (https://www.instagram.com/tinadavidson.music/)Tina on YouTube:\u00a0\u00a0https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrDxwJr9x_EvCiCT8LHt2wQ (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrDxwJr9x_EvCiCT8LHt2wQ)Tina Davidson\u2019s memoir,\u00a0Let Your Heart Be Broken,\u00a0Life and Music from a Classical Composer on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Let-Your-Heart-Broken-Classical/dp/1633376974 (https://www.amazon.com/Let-Your-Heart-Broken-Classical/dp/1633376974)Where High Achievers Get Through Shit - TOGETHER\u00a0Thanks for tuning into this week\u2019s episode of Trauma Hiders Club \u2018The Podcast\u2019 with Karen Goldfinger Baker.
