About Tina https://www.tinadavidson.com/  I am a classical composer and writer, now for 45 years. I am articulate about my unique life (traveling in many countries, meeting Ernest Hemingway as a child) and the traumas I experienced as a child - being adopted by my birth mother, but not told about my true identity. I share my story (in my memoir) of years of depression and dissociation, until I started working to reclaim myself through therapy and spiritual practice. All the while, I am a single parent, composing and creating works with major ensembles and orchestras, such as The Philadelphia Orchestra, American Composers Orchestra, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Kronos Quartet, Cassatt Quartet, as well as have recordings with Albany Music and on Deutsche Grammophon  (performed by Grammy winner violinist, Hilary Hahn).

Soon she is the oldest of five children, living with her mother and stepfather in Turkey, Germany, and Israel. She studies music and becomes a prolific pianist and composer. But something about her birth remains unnamed and hidden. When she returns to Sweden, she contacts the Swedish adoption agency. "Come," says the voice on the phone, "I have information for you." https://www.tinadavidson.com/
