Me2/ offers an environment where people with and without mental illnesses work together in a “stigma-free zone.” Join co-founders Ronald Braunstein and Caroline Whiddon as they present new performance footage as well as testimonials from Me2/ musicians. This featured session promises to offer great music, powerful insight, and a lively Q&A session... all in a stigma-free zone!
About Me2/ Me2/ (“me, too”) was founded in 2011 in Burlington, Vermont by Music Director Ronald Braunstein and Executive Director Caroline Whiddon. Braunstein graduated from the Juilliard School of Music and was the first American to win the Gold Medal in the Herbert von Karajan International Conducting Competition in Berlin. He spent years conducting all over the world, including nearly 15 years educating some of the nation’s most talented and hard-working young musicians in the Juilliard School and the Mannes School of Music preparatory division. At the age of 55 he had an epiphany: he was uniquely qualified to create a stigma-free creative space where he could be supported in his life-long struggle with bipolar disorder. He decided to create Me2/ so he could work with others who are trying to maintain good mental health.
