One of my favorite areas of research is women in American music, from the turn of the twentieth century to the present. Our knowledge of women as soloists, ensemble members, and chamber musicians on the vaudeville stage, the parade field, and the concert hall is limited. It is a challenge to uncover lost information about the world of low brass, and how this gives life to the history of American music.
