Olympic medalist, musician, creator, and Rhode Island native Elizabeth Beisel joins Kingston Notes for a conversation about identity, creativity, and the courage to evolve.

Reflecting on art, reinvention, and the many roles we inhabit throughout our lives, Elizabeth shares how powerful it can be to embrace the many layers of who we are—and the freedom that comes from pursuing multiple passions.

At the heart of our conversation is a powerful idea: whether in music, sports, or any creative endeavor, the goal is not simply to perform but to create experiences that allow people to connect with something genuine and meaningful.

This summer, Elizabeth makes her Kingston Chamber Music Festival debut in a special July 31 performance celebrating the rich intersections of classical, folk, bluegrass, jazz, and contemporary American music. Performing alongside violinist Zachary DePue, the program reimagines the traditional American fiddle contest through a vibrant mix of hoedowns, waltzes, and genre-crossing collaborations.
