It was a real pleasure to present some of my work on historic and contemporary women orchestras and conductors as part of the Royal Irish Academy of Music's Online Research Seminar Series today #WomenInMusic
This week I had the huge honour to present Anna Lapwood with an Honorary Doctorate from The Open University at our Manchester Graduation Ceremony #OUFamily #WomenInMusic #PlayLikeAGirl
Really excited that Women Transforming Classical Music is now available through @musicmarkuk.bsky.social's Resources: www.musicmark.org.uk/resources/wo... #WomenInMusic
The launch will explore the learning presented within the course and bring together a range of music industry experts to discuss their experiences of promoting women’s music.
Women Transforming Classical Music is a free, online course aimed at supporting performers and classical music ensembles and organisations to diversify their repertoire by programming more music by women composers (historical and contemporary).
Registration is now open for the launch of Women Transforming Classical Music, which will be held online on Friday 19 September, 10am-12pm (UK/ROI time).
This event is free, but registration is required: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/women-tran...

Exciting to receive my author copies of my Cambridge #WomenInMusic Element 'Bandleader Mrs Mary Hamer and Her Boys: Popular Music and Dance Cultures in Interwar Liverpool' co-written with Michael Brocken! Mary Hamer was a dance band leader, pianist, and exhibition dancer (but not a relative) 🎶

Statement from the Royal Musical Association on the School of Music at Cardiff University: www.rma.ac.uk/2025/02/03/s...
I did my PhD at Cardiff University. The support and opportunities which I received made me the researcher and university teacher that I am today. It is heart breaking to think of this world-leading department being under threat. Please sign if you are able:
