Marc Hannaford, Assistant Professor of Music Theory and CWPS 2022 Faculty Fellow will share about his ongoing research into African American music theorists.
Hannaford will share some of the details of his archival research into the music theoretical work of Mary Lou Williams and Sonny Rollins. Examining unseen sketches, scores, and unpublished book drafts from these two giants of Black American music, Hannaford suggests some of the ways that music theory functions in Black creative practice, as well as how it helps affirm Black life and agency.

Designed to create an informal and intimate setting for intellectual exchange among students, scholars, and the community, faculty are invited to present their work in an interactive and performative fashion.
