Science

Susan Bardsley nurtures beautiful harmonies from ‘women of a certain age.’ A new grandmother at 70, Bardsley brings knowledge, humor, and enthusiasm to the choirs she leads. The lively conversation with Rebecca Crichton, ED of Northwest Center for Creative Aging, will explore why singing at any age does more for our wellbeing than just making beautiful music.

Members of the North Seattle Treble Makers will share some of their repertoire and lead the Town Hall audience in singing together.

Harmony will be your takeaway from this tuneful event.

She taught at Roosevelt High School and Lake Washington High School in the 1980s. In 1998, she founded StoryBook Theater with Lani Brockman, an adult, professional troupe that presented 55-minute original musicals for young audiences throughout the Puget Sound for over 20 years. Susan was the composer, music director, on-stage pianist, and MC for the troupe.

Currently, Susan also conducts the choir at Congregation Kol Ami, newly expanded to Eastside Jewish Community Choir and the North Seattle Treblemakers.
