Goetz on History of Maestra Conductors on Broadway: The Theatre Times

Performing Arts Associate Professor Sariva Goetz writes about her own history as a conductor on Broadway for The Modern Times, and what led her to create an interactive and engaging historical timeline of female and nonbinary Broadway conductors, published on MaestraMusic.org.

Given my love of organization (I once had a side hustle as a professional organizer), collecting and organizing data held a certain appeal for me. I believe that data-driven research is often the catalyst for change and I hoped that this project would have an impact on my industry. I thought that such a timeline could inspire women and nonbinary musicians to pursue leadership roles in the field of musical theatre and identify possible mentors with whom to partner.
