SUMMARY:Opera League of Los Angeles: Seminar on Bizet’s “Carmen”
DESCRIPTION:In anticipation of the upcoming Los Angeles Opera production of Bizet’s Carmen\, my presentation for the Opera League of Los Angeles will look at how Bizet and his collaborators sharpened the class\, race\, and gender frictions of the original story by Prosper Merimée\, creating a dramatic and musical trajectory that make Carmen’s death inevitable. I will also discuss the changed ending of the 2018 Maggio Musicale production of Carmen in Florence\, Italy\, which was a very conscious response to headline-making increases in femicide in the years leading up to the production. \nAbout the Opera League of Los Angeles\nFounded in 1981\, the nonprofit Opera League of Los Angeles is the primary volunteer support organization\, and co-founder\, of LA Opera\, the resident opera company for the City of Los Angeles that was established in 1986. \nThe Opera League produces an array of educational programs including seminars\, gatherings\, musicales\, master classes\, and much more\, all with the common aim of expanding the appreciation of opera by bringing people together to celebrate this timeless art form.

SUMMARY:Invited Lecturer: Seattle Chamber Music Society Summer Festival (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:My first time being part of the Seattle Chamber Music Society Summer Festival\, which is a real treat. I love the city and can’t wait to meet the lovely community at SCMS! \nMy presentation for their new lecture series will be on Rebecca Clarke\, particularly on her earlier life leading up to the composition of Morpheus for piano and violin—a work she originally premiered under the pseudonym Anthony Trent. Clarke’s resolve to work professionally in music and her impressive body of work is an inspiration for all. I am fortunate to have access to a number of documents\, including her memoir\, thanks to Christopher Johnson\, Clarke’s great-nephew-by-marriage who owns Clarke’s rights and worked with her during her final decade and catalogued her compositions\, with her assistance. \nI will be giving this lecture on July 21-22 in two venues—the Seattle Chamber Music Society Center and Seattle Women’s University Club—and as a Zoom webinar.

SUMMARY:Invited Speaker: Jane Austen Society of North America
DESCRIPTION:One of the many wonderful things about being a “public musicologist” is that you never know when an audience member might surprise you with an unexpected invitation: in this case\, a chance to present at a gala event celebrating Jane Austen hosted by the Southwest Region of the Jane Austen Society of North America (JASNA)! This “multi-day super regional gala” takes as its theme “A Star Is Born” and will feature a wide variety of speakers. The title of my presentation is “The Musical Worlds of Austen: History & Cinema” and explore the musical culture of Austen’s world as well as how these sounds have been integrated and/or completely reinterpreted in film adaptations including Emma (1996 and 2020)\, Pride and Prejudice (2005)\, and Sense and Sensibility (1995). \nMy session will take place at the beautiful Huntington Library\, Art Museum\, and Botanical Gardens. \nClick on links for more information on JASNA and the Southwestern Chapter.
