Music therapy grad student Thaddeus Tukes performs at Jazz UpFront | Illinois State University

Despite being an established musician who has performed at New York City’s Carnegie Hall and Chicago’s Symphony Center, he decided to pursue a degree in music therapy at the Wonsook Kim College of Fine Arts and fulfill his dream of healing people with music.Learn more about Tukes: https://news.illinoisstate.edu/2024/11/healing-vibes-world-renowned-vibraphonist-seeks-a-new-audience-as-a-music-therapist/Video credit: Tim Vęatčh
