Friday, March 13 Afternoon Workshop: In Music, we Carry our Memories. Pianist and musicologist Katelyn Bouska explores these memories, diving deep into the archives at NCSML and the experiences of her own Bouška relatives as 19th-century Czech immigrants to the Midwest. This program presents a time capsule of 19th-century Czech musical life in the US with commentary from Bouska’s recent relocation back to Prague.Pianist Katelyn Bouska is an academic and an advocate, passionate about uncovering music lost to the passage of time. In her programming, she explores the boundaries between audience and performer, the past and the present. She brings to life these composers drawing from her deep research, cultural explorations and innovative programming. The main interests driving her research is her Czech-American heritage, women in music, and her desire to expand the canon of classical music.
Bouska is currently based in Prague finishing her book for Karolinum Press, “Czech Women in Music,” and teaching remotely at the Curtis Institute of Music.
