\"EliseBarrett<\/a>Singer\/songwriter, author and pastor Elise Erikson Barrett will present a concert Friday, Nov. 21 at 7 p.m. in Daniel Chapel on the Furman University campus.<\/p>\n

The event, \u201cThe Gift of Emotion: A Concert for the Head and Heart,\u201d is free and open to the public, and is presented by Furman\u2019s Office of the Chaplain. A reception hosted by Furman’s Wesley Fellowship will follow the event, with Barrett\u2019s CDs available for sale and signing.<\/p>\n

A Furman Cultural Life Program event, the concert is part of a presentation in which University Chaplain Dr. Vaughn CroweTipton explores the cultural significance of emotion, the Christian tradition surrounding it, and then offers pastoral and theological reflection on emotion as a human expression. Barrett\u2019s music is born from deep human emotions of loss and struggle. A Q&A session follows to allow a time to discuss the role and benefit\/struggle of human emotion.<\/p>\n

In 2012, Barrett\u2019s husband was diagnosed with stage IV non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In the difficult years that followed, Barrett was his caregiver through a failed course of chemotherapy and a successful bone marrow transplant. Throughout her life, music has been a cornerstone for Barrett. From her early years in the Indianapolis Children\u2019s Choir through her education and experiences as a pastor and worship leader, she has found ways to integrate her singing and songwriting.<\/p>\n

Barrett is a native of Indianapolis and is now living in Spartanburg, S.C. with her husband and three children. She is an ordained United Methodist pastor, a published writer and professional editor, an experienced retreat leader and speaker, as well as a singer\/songwriter.<\/p>\n

Barrett is author of \u201cWhat Was Lost: A Christian Journey through Miscarriage,\u201d which was awarded Christianity Today magazine’s “Best Book of 2011” in the Christian Living category. Her first full-length album, \u201cAwake,\u201d was recorded at the historic West Coast Fantasy Studios with producer Gabriel Harley.<\/p>\n
