In the Field 2010: Perspectives of a composer and a visual artist November 30, 2010

Speakers: Ruth Lomon and Mary Hamill
Two WSRC scholars - a visual artist (Mary Hamill) and a composer (Ruth Lomon) - will describe their work commissioned by the Abiquiu Music Festival in New Mexico, proceeding from Native American art. They have created music and installation art for a ceremony featuring native American flutist, R.C. Nakai. Lomon and Hamill will then discuss the individual work they do in their fields: changes in music publishing and new archival resources for women composers at the University of Maryland; and images from Hamill's medical mission as Public Affairs Officer for Project HOPE on the hospital ship USNS Mercy in Vietnam and Cambodia.
Location: Women’s Studies Research Center, Epstein Building, Brandeis University
