Our panelists bring a wealth of experiences and perspectives to our event: 

Madeline Cieslak '96 has performed across the country in opera and chamber music. Her credits include performances with Bay Area Summer Opera Theater, The Minnesota Opera, Theatre de la Jeune Lune, American Repertory Theater, North Star Opera, New Breath Productions, Opera for the Young, Dorian Opera Theater, and Opera in the Ozarks. A devotee of 20th and 21st century music, she had the honor of performing as the featured soprano in Schoenberg's Second String Quartet at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, a piece famous for its musical and vocal difficulty, and for the ushering in of a new aesthetic, atonality.

Madeline earned a Postgraduate Diploma in Vocal Performance from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, a Master of Music in Vocal Performance from the University of Minnesota and a Bachelor of Arts in French and Music from Wellesley College. A dedicated music teacher and arts administrator, she has served for the past ten years as the executive director of St. Joseph’s School of Music in St. Paul.

Caroline Giles Banks '65 is a cultural anthropologist by training and profession. Caroline earned a Ph.D from the University of Minnesota and held a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Chicago. Her academic research has been on the cultural dimensions of eating disorders, her speciality within the subfield of medical anthropology. Caroline served on the faculties of the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, Metropolitan State University, and Luther College. The author of six books of poetry, Caroline will discuss how anthropology and poetry each offer unique perspectives on women’s health, women’s roles, cultural diversity, and even bipedalism!

If you would like to bring a guest, please RSVP below (mobile) or at the left (web) as you would for yourself.  

These summaries are a small sampling of their background and experiences, and we look forward to hearing more at the event.
