Ernestine Whitman, a flute professor on the Lawrence University Conservatory of Music faculty for 33 years before retiring in 2011, will share her recently written memoir Countermelodies: A Memoir in Sonata Form. In the book, she explores a harrowing time in her life, when unrelenting psychological harassment for a teacher-turned-colleague in Atlanta threatened to unravel her dreams for a musical life.
Ernestine Whitman began her career as a professional flutist at age 20, making her the youngest member of the Atlanta Symphony. Her passion for teaching brought her to Lawrence University, where she was professor of flute for 33 years.
A passionate advocate for restorative justice, she volunteers frequently in programs at several Wisconsin prisons.
Ernestine and her husband, Howard Niblock, divide their time between their condo in midtown Atlanta and their longtime residence in Appleton.
