Organization

The Women and Music Mix was initiated at the Women’s Studies Research Center, (Shulamit Reinharz, Founding Director) to study the contributions of women to the field of music as composers, performers, teachers, scholars, and sponsors; to bring their work to a wider public through lectures, concerts, conferences, publications and recordings that highlight and explore issues of women and gender. The Women and Music Mix consists of ten acclaimed Visiting and Resident Scholars who have committed themselves to advancing women’s music and bringing their pioneering work to a wider public. The group is made up of composer Ruth Lomon, composer/violinist Dana Maiben, conductor/pianist Jane Ring Frank, musicologist/activist Liane Curtis, keyboardist/musicologist Vivian Montgomery, violist da gamba Laury Gutierrez, conductor Amelia LeClair, actor/director Alexandra Borrie, pianist/photographer Emily Corbato, music therapist Suzanne Hanser, and musicologist Arianne Johnson.
