Aphasia is a language disorder typically caused by stroke or traumatic brain injury. Because music is largely mediated by the undamaged hemispheres of the brains of people with aphasia, they can sing and are often fluent while singing even if they have severe difficulty speaking or are nonverbal. In honor of National Aphasia Awareness Month, the choir will perform a free concert of great pop songs appropriate for all ages. Educational information about aphasia will also be provided. Concert audiences have grown since the choir's inception in 2014, and attendees have used words and phrases such as "amazing" and "awe-inspiring" to describe what they've witnessed. In 2020, the American Stroke Association chose the Aphasia Choir of Vermont as the winner of their Stroke Hero Award for Outstanding Group. Come join us on June 2nd!
