Gender Expectations in Music
with Dr. Kay Norton, Arizona State University
Thursday, Apr. 4 | 6 – 7:30 pm | Rehearsal Hall
Kay Norton (Ph.D. Musicology, University of Colorado-Boulder 1990) is Professor of Musicology in the School of Music. She researches music’s association with wellness, American sacred music, and music of the American South. This presentation is drawn from one of her courses, “How Gender has Mattered in Music History.” It examines specifically gendered discourses about music relating to women, and the ways female musicians have negotiated gender expectations of their respective eras.
