#  Three chords and some Kierkegaard 

 





December 01, 2016

 

 

Kierkegaard and Sartre are to Brynn Elliott what Rimbaud and Blake were to Patti Smith: sources of deep musical inspiration. A junior philosophy concentrator, Elliott '18 is also a working musician, traveling on weekends to perform shows with her L.A. based band. But while some might find the demands of a music career and of being a philosophy concentrator overwhelming, as Professor Alison Simmons notes, "thinking through complex--and even some bizarre--ideas in class is Brynn's power source."  
  
You can read and hear more about Brynn's experiences as a musician and philosophy student at the [Harvard Gazette](http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2016/11/kick-out-the-kierkegaard/?utm_source=SilverpopMailing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=12.01.2016%20(1)).
