Join us in Owatonna as Roger Frisch, Former Associate Concertmaster with the Minnesota Orchestra, shares his incredible story and entertains us with his violin.

Imagine your entire life’s work brought to a screeching halt by a medical condition that appeared without warning. That’s what happened to Roger Frisch, a lifelong musician performing at the highest level with the world-renowned Minnesota Orchestra. Frisch tragically and suddenly lost his ability to perform due to a tremor disorder.

What happened next is nothing short of a miracle, as doctors at the Mayo Clinic eliminated the tremor using Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) while he played the violin!
