In this presentation, Dr. Kathy Bullock will share stories and works of African American Women composers who, although rarely mentioned in history books, have made valuable and significant contributions to the music of the United States. From the early 1900s to present day, we will explore the music and the messages of hope and empowerment that these phenomenal women have created.

Dr. Kathy Bullock is a teacher, performer, conductor, arranger, and scholar who specializes in the area of African American Sacred Music.  A Professor Emerita of Music at Berea College, Berea, Kentucky where she taught for almost thirty years, she is also currently a Visiting Professor at Bennington College, Bennington, VT.   Dr. Bullock earned the Ph.D. and M.A. in Music Theory from Washington University in St. Louis, MO, and a B.A. in Music from Brandeis University, MA and has taught in a wide variety of musical areas. She continues to perform, conduct workshops, direct choirs, and teaching courses in African American Music throughout the United States, Europe and Africa, sharing hope and joy during these challenging times.
