Through The Fog
How does deafblindness impact the musical journey?
The Usher Syndrome Society hosts live storytelling series called Conversations With USH. The discussions are guided by Rebecca Alexander, an award winning author, psychotherapist, extreme athlete, and disability advocate who is living with the rare disease, Usher syndrome (USH).
Usher syndrome is the most common genetic cause of combined deafblindness.
In this episode, Rebecca explores the musical experience with Brenden Sorensen (GCU Class of 2022), an accomplished composer and pianist who is progressively losing both his vision and hearing due to Usher syndrome.
Details and the final film will be coming soon highlighting the incredible talent of Brenden Sorenson.
