Ted Federle, Voice Recital: Existentially Me

Join Duke faculty and vocalist Ted Federle for Existentially Me, a deeply personal and artistically fearless recital that explores questions of identity, morality, and the courage required to carve one's own path in a complex world. Blending storytelling with a wide-ranging musical palette, Federle crafts a program that grapples with the pressures of fitting in, the challenge of defining what is "right," and the weight of navigating good and evil in contemporary life.

Rather than retreating into convention, this recital celebrates the freedom of embracing one's differences-musically, emotionally, and philosophically. Federle performs with a spirit of openness and authenticity, inviting the audience into a journey of introspection, vulnerability, and self-discovery. Through thoughtful repertoire choices and candid artistic expression, Existentially Me becomes both a personal statement and a universal meditation on what it means to live truthfully.

Presented in the intimate setting of the Nelson Music Room, this recital offers an evening of powerful reflection and bold individuality-an invitation to listen deeply and, perhaps, to consider your own place within the world's ever-shifting moral landscape.

Free and open to the public. All are welcome.
