Erik Gullicksons 50th Birthday Concert

A native of Fairbanks, Alaska, Erik Gullickson (he/him) has worked in the arts for more than thirty years as teacher, performer, director, and stage manager for over 100 productions across the country. Erik holds a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from the University of Idaho, and a Master of Music in Vocal Performance from Temple University. Locally, Erik has been a member of the Trinity Episcopal Cathedral Choir and Chamber Singers, and is a frequent soloist and member of the Portland Gay Mens Chorus, recently serving as conductor for their historic tour of Mainland China. He is a student of performance coach, Stephanie Lynne Smith, and voice teacher, Daniel Buchanan.

A lifelong youth advocate, Erik is continually amazed at the bravery, strength, and raw talent of Bridging Voices. He describes his ongoing leadership of Bridging Voices as the culmination of all lifes paths; a dual opportunity to cultivate a space where all youth are welcome as they are, and to challenge his own assumptions of what the world can be in a city where dreams can be realized.

For his 50th birthday celebration Erik will present a much anticipated solo concert at Resound NW: A Place to Sing. Proceeds will go to benefit Bridging Voices, a 501(c)3. Featuring Stephanie Lynne Smith (piano), Randy Thorderson (guitar), and some really good cake!
