The Women of Viennese Musical Modernism

Student Researchers Alice Belshaw and Jana Michalik; Faculty Mentor and Assistant Professor of Voice Dr. Kerry Ginger

During and immediately following the modernist Second Viennese School of music (ca. 1910-1930), women were excluded from participation in modernist compositional practices due to a lack of education, conservative and/or stigmatizing gender norms against women composers, upper-class cultural values associated with women, and the censure of modernist music by the Nazi party.
