TEDxPalermo - Erica Mou - Beyond Epic Neck May 10, 2011

Favorite:

The performance of the young songwriter Erica Mou has been hosted in the end of the first session of the TEDxPalermo Talks on April 30th. The location due to bad weather was changed at the very last minute and studio427 were welcoming our day with a bunch of fans and excited attendees. Erica played 3 songs unplugged telling us less about her idea of new business and more about her idea of creativity meant to be such an intimate issue.

In the spirit of "ideas worth spreading", TED has created a program called TEDx, of local events, organized independently, that bring people together to share an experience similar to the one you live with TED. The TED Conference provides general guidance for all the TEDx events, but local events are made independently.
