RESEARCH

THE TIMELINE

In 2025, I created a Historical Timeline of Female and Nonbinary Broadway Conductors and                Music Directors

The Timeline can be found at:

It's very interactive, so please explore and enjoy!

THE SYMPOSIUM

I presented my research at a symposium held at the DiMenna Center for Classical Music in New York City on May 19, 2025.  The event was co-sponsored by The Society of Composers and Lyricists, Maestra Music, and The Dramatists Guild.  I moderated a panel of four artists who appear on the timeline whose careers span the 1970s to present day.  

The full Symposium can be found at:

THE DOCUMENTARY

The stories I heard while conducting my research were very compelling and led me to the idea of making a documentary.  On the day of the symposium, we spent the afternoon filming interviews with nine of the conductors on the timeline and, along with footage from the symposium, we created a 10-minute teaser for the documentary.  

The teaser will be posted here soon.

NEXT STEPS

We are currently in the planning and fundraising phases for a one-hour documentary.
