February 25, lecture-recital at CMS Southern conference, Berry College
“How to Learn New Music from the 1890s” is a lecture-recital that explores Aus der Ohe’s compositions and seeks to put them into historical and musical context. The performance of works by Aus der Ohe is likely to be one of the first at a regional conference and offers a chance to represent an overlooked composer on a large stage. I seek to introduce these pieces to the piano repertoire and endeavor to bridge the historical gap that exists when ‘new’ works from historical composers are brought to light.

Doctoral Dissertation-Adele aus der Ohe: Pioneering Through Recital Programming at Carnegie Hall, 1895
This research centers on the early solo piano recital and its beginnings in the United States at the end of the 19th century. Adele aus der Ohe, notable pianist of the time, and her scheduled solo recital at Carnegie Hall act as the centerpiece of an investigation into the musical and cultural history of the time.
