Music has dramatic power to help us through times of trial and stress. Dr. Ballam’s poignant and charming anecdotal experiences and beloved musical examples will bring you solace, strength, and hope.

Dr. Ballam is well-known for his work in the world of opera, musical theatre, and motion pictures, and has dozens of albums to his credit. With all of his professional and academic achievements, he is most comfortable at the bedside of a terminally ill patient singing a favorite melody of hope, or volunteering in the classroom enlightening children as he shares the magic and wonder of Mozart and Beethoven.

Dedicated to Nate Kofford, whose memory gives us eternal strength
