Showcase of women in music resonates

This Sunday, the Women's Studies Research Center kicked off a new year of musical scholarship and performance with a dynamic lecture and concert program, Women "Making Music: Honoring the Work of Judith Tick." The hallmark events paid tribute to the lifetime of pioneering work that musicologist Judith Tick has done in the interest of women's participation and legacy in music. On Sunday afternoon, the WSRC hosted a talk by Tick, who shared the inspiration for the day's events: the 25th anniversary of the publishing of an anthology of essays, compiled by Tick and her colleague Jane Bowers, entitled Women Making Music: The Western Art Tradition, 1150-1950. The heavy attendance of Brandeis alums contributed to an atmosphere of reverence and belovedness for the music and movements that Tick discussed. WSRC scholar and accomplished historical musician Vivian Montgomery introduced Tick to the eager, packed audience, sharing that her work encompasses "performers who have unearthed and represented women in music." Tick gracefully commanded the room, and began to tell the audience about the process behind the creation of the anthology, which has become both a teaching tool and an industry standard in musicology studies.
