Winifred Smith Hall

This conference seeks to broaden out – historically and geographically – the discourse surrounding professional women pianists between 1848 and 1970. These years witnessed sustained interest in public piano performance, both onstage and in recording, against a backdrop of socio-political and technological change, from the 1848 revolutions, through two World Wars, to the decline of imperialism and the rise of second-wave feminism. The conference not only contributes to developments in gender studies, but also explores the piano as an instrument of globalism, colonialism, and mobility, with particular implications for women.
