Stephanie Heidemann has been performing Eastern European folksong, Indian Raga, American Gospel, Spanish Early Music and Chant since the age of 20.

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 Conferences, 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.

Heidemann also studied in depth with NY Metropolitan Opera Mezzo, Brenda Boozer, whose technique was unique in that she incorporated Kundalini Yoga into voice technique for an integrative practice. Boozer plans to join Heidemann in performances in 2007.
