Album Notes

Stephanie Heidemann has been performing Eastern European folksong, Indian Raga, American Gospel, Spanish Early Music and Chant for 12 years. With an upbringing in Venezuela, Germany, Australia & the U.S., she blends her approach of fusion to this ancient style of Spanish Music with a style all her own.

She brings an Authentic style of music in haunting melodies, devotional nature in music, and a strong connection to the divine feminine.

For 7 years, she toured nationally with a World Music vocal quartet, \"VIDA\". Managed by NY\'s IMG-Artists, VIDA arranged & performed traditional & non-traditional World Music in concert halls everywhere from UCLA\'s Royce Hall, Rockefeller Center in NYC, Lincoln Center, the Hague Peace Conference, to World Music Festivals all over the U.S.

She fell deeply in love with 13 Century \"Cantigas de Santa Maria\", and has been arranging, recording and performing them in the U.S. ever since.

With a B.A. in Expressive Arts Therapy from Indiana University, Heidemann richly explored improvisation and authentic creativity through expressive voice-movement settings and brings this influence to her music.

Her deep inspiration directs her poetry in \"luminescent\" singing.

Heidemann brings her CD: “The Cantiga Project” as her solo debut, an intimate Portrait of Spanish Devotional music.
