Feminist Theory and Music 10 - UNCG School of Music

A biennial, international, interdisciplinary symposium on
music, gender, sexuality and feminist theory

Welcome to FTM10! The tenth Feminist Theory and Music symposium will take place on the beautiful UNCG campus in historic Greensboro, North Carolina. Special features this year include Sherrie Tucker's on-stage interview with former members of the "Darlinettes," Greensboro's "all-girl" band of the WWII era; Yolanda Broyles-Gonzalez, author of Lydia Mendoza's Life in the Music; Tammy Kernodle, author of Soul on Soul, a biography of composer and pianist Mary Lou Williams; and a panel on Title IX, Music, and Academic Careers.

In addition, FTM 10 will include an opportunity to participate in a pre-symposium half-day workshop on feminist ethnography/oral history with members of the Darlinettes, led by Sherrie Tucker, and an exhibition of feminist visual art at UNCG's outstanding Weatherspoon Art Museum. Concerts and lecture recitals will include works by women composers, both historical works and world premieres. Please join us for music, community, and intellectual inquiry!
