Scholarship
My current research and performing work explores the contributions of women to the linked musical milieux of Vienna and Berlin in the early and interwar twentieth century, as well as diasporic women composers who fled those cities to begin anew in the United States.
In addition to this focus, I seek to bring to light new and underperformed repertoire, advance pedagogical practice, and support undergraduate research.
