Dr. Anne-Valerie Brittan-Leibundgut, a French-born composer, performer, and lecturer at the University of Oklahoma shares her remarkable journey from studying piano at the Conservatory of Cannes to finding her calling in the heart of the US - Oklahoma. There she's dedicated herself to making classical music accessible and engaging for non-music majors. Through her innovative storytelling approach, she connects musical masterpieces to their historical contexts, helping students understand that "music is a reflection of the society that creates it." With warmth, enthusiasm, and a passion for Western cultural heritage, she transforms reluctant students into appreciative listeners who can then discover the joy and relevance of classical music in their own lives.
