BLEMF 2022 is dedicated to celebrating women in early music, highlighting the presence, influence, and artistry of women across nine centuries of musical culture and music-making. From the convents of the medieval period through the salons of the early 19th century, women participated in music as composers, performers, poets, patrons, and listeners; from positions of political, religious, and social power; in front of audiences and behind the scenes.
BLEMF 2022 gives such women the stage—those long-remembered and those only recently rediscovered—to bring the music they made in their time to our audiences today.

MUSIC FESTIVALS: THE INDESCRIBABLE CONNECTION (PERSUASIVE ESSAY)Miranda Bator
April, 2015: This persuasive essay was written in ENG 205: Creative Writing at Schoolcraft College. The essay works to try to convince the reader to attend a summer concert or music festival. The central focus/ argument is based on the strong roots in American history, the welcoming atmosphere of music shows and the opportunity for listeners to discover new experiences.
Music has the power to bring people together, regardless of their background. When music and travel are combined, something special happens. In this blog post, we will explore the power of music and travel and how they come together to create a unique experience. We will examine how music can be a cultural bonding tool, allowing us to explore different cultures and make new connections. So, get ready to explore the world of music and travel, and discover how we can use it to bring us closer together.

Earlier this year our production committee began researching and developing a program that reviewed the past 40 years of gay rights. The music that we perform this evening reflects music written and composed by gay individuals, music contemporary to the gay rights movement and music that helped define our diverse and emerging community.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

3. Welcome to the
As we come together, following more time apart than we could have
imagined, all of us at Bloomington Early Music are especially excited
to share this year’s festival with you.
Experiencing music together—whether playing, singing, or listening—
makes community happen. Through music, we connect in delight and
sorrow, witness great beauty, feel another’s pain, excitement, or tran-
quility. Our 2022 festival extends that connection hundreds of years
into the past, to women who lived over the course of nine centuries
and across four continents. These women faced challenges and found
joys surprisingly similar to what many experience today, even as the
societies in which they lived seem foreign and distant to us now. Then
as now, women have been overlooked, their achievements and influ-
ence ignored or covered over, and their paths to success filled with ob-
stacles. And their joys—of family, friendship, love, religious devotion,
and intellectual and artistic endeavors—are also mirrored, if somewhat
altered, in women’s lives today.
The music that fills our festival showcases these experiences, and shows
that despite many challenges, women did in fact achieve and influence,
create and perform; that they were present and even sometimes pow-
erful throughout this long period. History may have forgotten, but
their music remembers. Our hope is to inspire our whole community
through the power of this music and the perseverance that it represents.
We at Bloomington Early Music are enormously grateful for the sup-
port you have shown us over the many years since our first festival
nearly thirty years ago, but most especially for helping us to persevere
over the past two years. On behalf of our entire board, thank you. It
is, then, a special honor and a great thrill to present to you BLEMF
2022—with as much to hear, do, and enjoy as we could pack into a
week. Let the music begin!

5. Celebrating Women in Early Music
BLEMF 2022 is dedicated to celebrating women in early music,
highlighting the presence, influence, and artistry of women across
nine centuries of musical culture and music-making. From the
convents of the medieval period through the salons of the early
19th century, women participated in music as composers, per-
formers, poets, patrons, and listeners; from positions of political,
religious, and social power; in front of audiences and behind the
scenes. Our festival gives such women the stage—those long-re-
membered and those only recently rediscovered—to bring the
music they made in their time to our audiences today.

6. Our History & Mission
Established in 1992 by renowned violin pedagogue Stanley Ritchie and
his associates, Bloomington Early Music began as an inspiring commu-
nity concert series under the name Early Music Associates. Soon after,
a group of enterprising students from Indiana University’s Early Music
Institute—now the Historical Performance Institute (HPI)—joined
this community effort to establish the Bloomington Early Music Fes-
tival. Over the next three decades, our organization has brought to
south central Indiana some of the world’s most significant performers
of music of the medieval period through the early nineteenth century,
many of whom have deep artistic roots in this region. BLEM partners
with national and local organizations to better serve diverse commu-
nity, sponsors local ensembles and educational outreach, and collabo-
rates with the HPI, the IU Latin American Music Center, and leading
music scholars at IU’s Jacobs School of Music. BLEM aims to enrich,
educate, and inspire audiences and performers through our support of
emerging talent, promotion of music that is global and multicultural,
and commitment to societal engagement through music.

7. Remembering Robert DeVoe (1938-2021)
With deep gratitude for his years of service to the Bloomington community,
we celebrate and honor Bob DeVoe at this year’s Bloomington Early Music
Festival. Bob was a member of the Bloomington Early Music board of direc-
tors for more than a decade and provided enormous wisdom, expertise, and
encouragement to the organization. With his charm, thoughtful manner, pa-
tience, and encyclopedic knowledge, he helped forge a through-line of stabili-
ty as the festival explored different programming ideas and partnerships. Ever
a champion of a broadening of scope, Bob was a strong supporter of diversity
in programming and was thrilled when women composers and performers
were showcased. He would have been enthralled by this year’s lineup.
Bob was part of a group of individuals who largely underwrote the growth
of programming in early music in this amazing town, at a time in which the
festival was still young. Upon moving to Bloomington to pursue his career
as a faculty member in the Indiana University School of Optometry in the
1990s, Bob befriended a group of opera lovers who had an enviable tradition
of gathering at one their houses for a post-performance celebration. Included
in the group were George Van Arsdale and Gordon Hershey, both of whom
would, like Bob, become members of BLEM’s board of directors. And the
three of them were friends with long-time board chair Mary Tilton, who in
her inimitable way, kept them all in order!
A little-known fact about Bob: Not only was he an enthusiast for all things
Apple and a staunch member of SMUG, the Serious MacIntosh Users Group
(which led to many discussions on best practices,) but he was a drummer,
with experience as a member of the Bloomington Community Band. Who
would have guessed that the urbane, thoughtful, ever-supportive long time
board member had such a passion? But then… on the rare occasion in meet-
ings, Bob’s equilibrium would break to reveal a passionate debater, with im-
pressive dexterity, virtuosity, and wit. Perhaps the drummer was more present
than we realized?
We will miss Bob, his passion for early music, his generosity, his phenomenal
grasp of numbers, and so much more, as we remember him during the 2022
Bloomington Early Music Festival.

17. The Bloomington Bach Cantata Project, now completing its twelfth
season, brings together students, faculty, and professional artists
from around the region to present cantatas by J. S. Bach in perfor-
mances modeled on his own. Our performances use singers and in-
strumentalists deployed as Bach did in numbers and balance, and
are based on carefully considered musical texts representing specif-
ic versions heard under Bach’s direction. Our concerts offer a perfor-

30. The professional vocal ensemble Cappella Romana and its GRAM-
MY-nominated recording label Cappella Records are dedicated to
combining passion with scholarship in its exploration of the musical
traditions of the Christian East and West, with emphasis on early
and contemporary music. Its performances “like jeweled light flood-
ing the space” (Los Angeles Times), Cappella Romana is known es-
pecially for its presentations and recordings of medieval Byzantine
chant, Greek and Russian Orthodox choral works, and other sacred
music that expresses the historic traditions of a unified Christian in-
heritance. Founded in 1991, Cappella Romana has a special com-
mitment to mastering the Slavic and Byzantine musical repertories
in their original languages, thereby making accessible to the gen-
eral public two great musical traditions that are little known in the
West. Critics have consistently praised Cappella Romana for its un-
usual and innovative programming, including numerous world and
American premieres. The ensemble has presented annual concert
series in Portland, Oregon, Seattle, Washington, and San Francisco,
California, in addition to touring nationally and internationally, most
recently to the Utrecht Early Music Festival, Netherlands, the largest
early music festival in the world, where it performed its Lost Voices
of Hagia Sophia program before a sold-out house of 1,500 vacci-
nated audience members. Other recent appearances abroad have
included venues in Hungary, Serbia, Germany, Belgium, Greece, and
the UK. Cappella Records has released more than 25 recordings,
including its chart-topping Lost Voices of Hagia Sophia (44 weeks
on Billboard), Hymns of Kassianí, featuring the earliest music in the
world we have by a female composer, and The Saint Tikhon Choir’s
GRAMMY-nominated recording of Benedict Sheehan’s Liturgy.
Alexander Lingas, Music Director and Founder of Cappella Romana, is a
Professor of Music at City, University of London, and a Research Fellow of
the Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies, Cambridge. He completed his
doctorate on Sunday matins in the rite of Hagia Sophia at the University of
British Columbia and then, with the support of a SSHRC postdoctoral fel-
lowship, moved to Oxfordshire to study theology with Metropolitan Kallistos
Ware. His present work embraces not only historical study but also ethnog-
raphy and performance. His awards include Fulbright and Onassis grants for
30
31. musical studies in Greece with cantor Lycourgos
Angelopoulos, the British Academy’s Thank-Of-
fering to Britain Fellowship, research leave sup-
ported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, and
the St. Romanos the Melodist medallion of the
National Forum for Greek Orthodox Church
Musicians (USA). In 2018 His All-Holiness, Bar-
tholomew I, Archbishop of Constantinople-New
Rome and Ecumenical Patriarch, bestowed on
him the title of Archon Mousikodidaskalos.

33. Bach Collegium San Diego engages audiences with accessible, his-
torically informed performances and educational programs featur-
ing repertoire from the Renaissance, Baroque, and early Classical
eras. Founded in 2003 by Artistic Director Ruben Valenzuela, Bach
Collegium San Diego diversifies musical offerings in the San Diego
community, and presents a wide variety of historically significant
works. The organization engages many of the country’s finest sing-
ers and instrumentalists to bring world-class music to the greater
San Diego area. Bach Collegium San Diego’s excellent programming
and exemplary talent have made it one of the premier early music
ensembles on the West Coast and one of the most dynamic ensem-
bles in the United States.
Ruben Valenzuela, conductor, keyboardist,
and musicologist, is the Founder and Artistic
Director of the Bach Collegium San Diego
(BCSD). His performances have been de-
scribed as ‘dramatic’ and ‘vibrant’ and ‘able
to unlock the true power of Baroque music’
(SanDiegoStory.com). Under Valenzuela’s
leadership, BCSD has achieved local, nation-
al, and international acclaim, through highly
charged virtuosic performances of iconic rep-
ertoire, in addition to lesser-known works. As a musicologist, Valenzuela has
undertaken research at the Centro Nacional de Investigación, Documentación e
Información Musical, Carlos Chavez (CENEDIM, Mexico City), and has also
engaged in research at the Archivo del Cabildo of Mexico City Cathedral fo-
cusing on the basso continuo in Novo-Hispanic music. In 2016, he presented
a paper titled: Mexican Religious Iconography (Angels musicians and the Basso
Continuo in Mexico City Cathedral) for the inaugural Historical Performance
Institute of the Jacobs School of Music, Indiana University. Valenzuela holds
a PhD in Musicology from Claremont Graduate University.
GRAMMY-nominated soprano Jennifer Ellis Kampani is one of today’s
leading interpreters of the Baroque repertoire. She has performed with the
Richmond Symphony, Washington Bach Consort, Bach Choir of Bethlehem,
and New York Collegium. Her international career has included appearances
with American Bach Soloists, Baroque Band, Portland Baroque Orchestra,
Seattle Baroque Orchestra, Opera Lafayette, Apollo’s Fire, Musica Angelica,
33
34. Boston Camerata, Bach Sinfonia, Magnificat, and
the Washington Catherdral Choral Society. Kam-
pani has been heard in many concert series and fes-
tivals including Le Flaneries Musicales de Reims in
France, Aston Magna, Da Camera Society, Hous-
ton Early Music, Staunton Music Festival, Music
Before 1800, Carmel Bach, and the Berkeley and
Boston Early Music Festivals. Ms Kampani has re-
corded What Artemesia Heard, Kingdoms of Castille
(GRAMMY nomination in 2012), Salir el Amor del Mundo, and Passion and
Lament for Dorian, Villancicos y Cantatas and The Essential Giuliani for Koch,
the complete works of Chiara Cozzolani (Gramophone editors’ pick, August
2002) for Musica Omnia, and Carissimi Motets for Hungaroton.

37. Le Concert de la Reine brings forgotten masterpieces of the Ba-
roque era back to light through the ideal pairing of voice and viol
de gamba. A popular instrument in its time, the viol displays an im-
pressive, almost human-like timbre with a range of color and dy-
namics that beautifully complements the most intimate expressions
of the voice. Le Concert de la Reine centers their performances on
works of 17th-century French and English composers that highlight
strong poetic identity, particularly Henry Dumont, Matthew Locke,
Marc-Antoire Charpentier, and Marin Marais, in order to showcase
this remarkable repertoire. The “queen” in the ensemble’s name
refers to both Marie-Thérèse d’Autriche, spouse of Louis XIV, for
whom Dumont served as harpsichordist and “Master of the Queen’s
Music,” and Catherine of Braganza, spouse of Charles II, for whom
Locke served as royal composer and chapel organist. On the oc-
casion of her Masters recital in October 2020, Chloé de Guillebon
joined with fellow alumni of the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis to form
Le Concert de la Reine, as much a product of their excitment for this
repertoire as their desire to continue playing music together.
37
38. Winner of first prize at the international harpsichord competitions of Pesaro
(2017) and Vilnius (2020), Chloé de Guillebon is a young French harpsi-
chord player and organist quickly making a name for herself across Europe.
Laureate of the Fondation Royaumont between 2014 and 2020, and Lau-
reate of Jeunes Talents in 2020 and 2021, Chloé studied in Trossingen with
Marieke Spaans, in Munich with Christine Schornsheim, and in Basel where
she obtained her Generalbass Master with Jörg Andreas Bötticher. In addi-
tion to serving as artistic director of Le
Concert de la Reine, Chloé currently
performs solo recitals and on continuo
with many young ensembles through-
out Europe, works as an accompanist
at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis,
and studies with Béatrice Martin in
CRR de Paris.

42. The artistic triad of poet, reciter, and harper in Gaelic culture had
a long history dating to the Middle Ages. These practitioners were
considered aos eálaion, “people of art,” and had special status
within traditional Irish society. English writers critical of these pro-
fessions often complained that these “Isshallyn” (anglicized from
the Irish) thwarted attempts to control the Irish-speaking popu-
lation. Formed in 2015 by Keith Collins, Isshallyn has performed
concerts ranging from medieval Wales and the Robert ap Huw
harp manuscript, to Ireland’s famous harper/poet Turlough O’Ca-
rolan, and a concertized version of the medieval epic Irish story
“The Cattle Raid of Cooley.” Farewell Forever to the Music of the
Harp features rarely heard songs and tunes from the life of Scottish
Highland poet Sìleas na Ceapaich. Using historical models, printed
sources, and manuscript readings, Isshallyn awakens her poems
through their tunes and brings her remarkable life to a wider audi-
ence.
C. Keith Collins, director, is a multi-instrumentalist whose musical tastes
include medieval Welsh harp music, historical bassoon, and the traditional
music of his ancestral Appalachian homeland. He is a founding member of
Heartland Baroque, a chamber group that specializes in music of the early
1700’s. Keith can be heard playing recorder, curtal, and shawm with the Re-
naissance wind band Forgotten Clefs. He is keenly interested in the harping
traditions of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales; his Irish harp is a copy of the ca.
1600 ‘Castle Otway’ instrument and is strung with brass and silver strings.
He directs the group Isshallyn, which brings to life music from Ireland, Scot-
land, and Wales. Keith makes his home in Brown County, Indiana where he
is a volunteer at the Indiana Raptor Center, a wildlife hospital for injured and
orphaned birds of prey. He is adjunct lecturer at the Historical Performance
Institute of Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music.
This concert is sponsored by Linda Handelsman.

The Telling breaks new ground where new writing and early
music collide. They are also known for their special intimate per-
formances of carols, and medieval and renaissance music. They
have released three CDs via First Hand Records. Gardens of Delight
was selected for BBC Music Magazine’s Playlist, April 2019 and
Secret Life of Carols reached #25 in the Classical Charts, December
2019. The Vision and Unsung Heroine soundtrack CD received a
four-star review from BBC Music Magazine. During the 2020/2021
lockdowns, The Telling delivered online workshops for over a year
which participants described as a “lifeline”. They went on to receive
46. critical praise for their online arthouse films of plays with music:
Vision and Unsung Heroine. Vision was selected by The Guardian
as one of the Top 3 Online Summer Music Highlights. Love in the
Lockdown, their Zoom-based online play with music, won Best
Director at the SceneSaver Awards. The Telling’s most recent show,
I Spie (2021), tells the story of John Dowland and his brush with the
Elizabethan Secret Service, which they toured around the UK and
released on film in late 2021.
Clare Norburn is a singer, playwright, producer, freelance arts fundraiser
and artist mentor. She read music at Leeds University and singing at Lon-
don College of Music. As a playwright, she has developed a new genre of
concertplays for both her own group The
Telling and other ensembles. Her produc-
tions have toured UK festivals and LSO
St Luke’s, Bridgewater Hall and St John’s
Smith Square. As a singer, Norburn has

49. Musica Spira (Music Breathes) brings the underrepresented stories
of early modern female musicians to life through thought-provoking
programs that shed light on women’s multifaceted contributions to
music history and advocate for the continued empowerment and
recognition of women in all times and places. Co-directors Grace
Srinivasan and Dr. Paula Maust combine scholarly research with in-
novative musical programming to create concert themes that “draw
musical traditions of the past and present into renewed conversa-
tions about the importance of life and values” (The Wilson Center).
Founded in 2016 and based in the Baltimore, MD-Washington, D.C.
area, Musica Spira’s recent programs include “The Ugly Virtuo-
sa,” “The Women Who Took the Stage,” and “Shattering the Glass
Ceiling.” They have performed on concert series at the Walters Art
Museum, the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, the Pio-
neer Valley Early Music Day in Massachusetts, St. Luke’s Episcopal
Church in Lebanon, PA, St. Anne’s Episcopal Church in Annapolis,
and the Society of Historically Informed Performance series in Bos-
ton. This year includes a performance of “The Ugly Virtuosa” at the
In the Stacks series at the Peabody Institute as well as performanc-
es throughout the region of programs inspired by Marie-Françoise
Çertain’s Parisian salon and Italy’s first professional women singers.
Praised for combining “great power with masterful subtlety,” Paula Maust is
a performer, scholar, and educator dedicated to fusing research and creative
practice to amplify underrepresented voices. As a harpsichordist and organist,
she codirects Musica Spira, curating provocative programs connecting ba-
roque music to contemporary issues. She performs extensively as a chamber
musician with ensembles including Washing-
ton Bach Consort, Folger Consort, and Han-
del Choir of Baltimore. She also conducts early
modern opera from the keyboard, most recently
directing scenes at the Peabody Conservatory.
Paula is the creator of expandingthemusicthe-
orycanon.com, an internationally-acclaimed
OER collection of music theory examples by
women and people of color. A print antholo-
gy based on the project is under contract with
SUNY Press, and she has articles published in
49
50. Women & Music and the Journal of the International Alliance for Women in
Music. Paula is an Assistant Professor of Music Theory at Peabody, where she
earned degrees in harpsichord (DMA ‘19, MM ‘16).
Praised for her “beautiful vocalism” and engaging
presence, soprano Grace Srinivasan has established
herself in the Baltimore-Washington area as a per-
former of a wide spectrum of repertoire ranging from
the Renaissance to contemporary compositions.
Grace is a graduate of Peabody Conservatory and the
George Washington University, and has toured inter-
nationally with the Peabody Renaissance Ensemble
and GWU Singers. A Washington, D.C. area native,
Grace sings professionally as a cantor and soprano at
St. Stephen Martyr Catholic Church, as a soprano at
Washington National Cathedral, and with the choir
at Temple Sinai. She has sung with groups through-
out the region including the Washington Bach Consort, Chantry, and Cathe-
dra. Grace also serves as music director at Chesapeake Shakespeare Company.
In September 2014 she appeared in the PBS docudrama Enemy of the Reich
as Noor Inayat Khan.
Musica Spira is a BLEMF Emerging Artist Ensemble.

55. Joined together in their mutual love for chamber music, the Neth-
erlands-based Westeinde Winds comprises five women passionate
about the performance of historical music on period instruments.
After years of playing with some of the top historically-informed en-
sembles of Europe and realizing their desire to play in a more inti-
mate setting, the Westeinde Winds were born. The woodwind quin-
tet enjoyed its own birth around the end of the 18th century, using
heavier materials and multiple keys to compete with the ever-rising
sound demands in the orchestra. Westeinde Winds are dedicated to
playing on models of these historical instruments to seek insight into
how this music was performed and share this knowledge with future
listeners and music makers to come.
Westeinde Winds is a BLEMF Emerging Artist Ensemble.

MIRYAM was founded in 2016 by Alicia DePaolo and Ari Nieh in
order to bring Jewish early music to New England audiences. Since
then, our music has reached communities across the country and
worldwide, from Jerusalem, to Amsterdam, to Montreal. Our en-
semble members are critically acclaimed performers and scholars of
renaissance and baroque music who have a passion for connecting
with audiences. Many of our programs bring well-loved compos-
ers such as Monteverdi, Bach, and Schütz into Jewish spaces, other
houses of faith, and concert halls, celebrating the Jewish texts upon
which their compositions are based and opening a fruitful inter-re-
ligious dialogue. Other programs highlight Jewish composers, such
as Salamone Rossi and Abraham Caceres and feature music from
baroque Jewish communities ranging from Amsterdam, to Mantua,
to Bayonne. In every space we enter, we set the intention of cele-
brating the beauty and richness of intersecting identities and musi-
cal languages.

58. Alicia DePaolo, soprano, has received critical acclaim for her “perfect com-
bination of clarity and warmth” (Harmonia Early Music). A specialist in his-
torical performance, she has appeared as a soloist, chamber musician, and
ensemble singer with Tafelmusik, American Bach Soloists, Amherst Early
Music, Ensemble Musica Humana, Crescendo Baroque Orchestra, Gotham

cabeus, “Fatime” in Rameau’s Les Indes Galan-
tes, “Castitas” in Hildegard von Bingen’s Ordo
Virtutum, “La Nymphe des Tuileries” in Lully’s
Alceste, and the title role in Lidarti’s Esther. As
the co-founder and director of MIRYAM, Ms.
DePaolo is dedicated to bringing Jewish ba-
roque music to new audiences. She has been fea-
tured in Times of Israel and Washington Jewish
Week for her work, and in 2019 she produced
the East Coast premiere of Lidarti’s Esther, a re-
cently-rediscovered Hebrew-language oratorio.
During the Covid-19 lockdown, she recorded
and produced an online recital of art songs by Israeli composers and a virtual
performance of Bach’s BWV 199 as a meditation for the weeks leading up to
the Days of Awe. Ms. DePaolo holds a master’s degree in Early Music Vocal
Performance from Indiana University, a master’s degree in Jewish Education
and Jewish Studies from Hebrew College, and a bachelor’s degree from Smith
College. She is currently based in the DC area, where she also works as a can-

languages and by indigenous and anonymous composers. Tonos be-
gan as the Latin American Ensemble, a course offered by the Latin
American Music Center at IU’s Jacobs School of Music, and is now
an emerging professional ensemble performing across Indiana. Par-
ticularly interested in championing the recently published complete
65

Cathedral, Mexico, Tonos looks forward to expanding project-based
collaborations that span geographical and interdisciplinary areas,
especially those that address colonization and its relationship to
music.
Sarah Cranor is passionate about the freedom of sonic possibilities in both
historical and contemporary music. Sarah directs Tonos del Sur, is Con-
certmaster/Principal Second Violin with the Midland-Odessa Symphony, a
member of the Permian Basin and Chasqui string quartets, and performs

rection of La Púrpura de la Rosa with Nell Snaidas, the Indianapolis Ba-
roque Orchestra, Charlotte BachAkademie, Bourbon Baroque, and Sphere
Ensemble. Recently released recordings include “The Colorful Telemann”
with Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra for NAXOS Music, “Fair and Prince-
ly Branches: Music for the Jacobean Princes” with Renaissance violin band
The Queen’s Rebels, and Kurt Vonnegut’s Requiem with Voces Novae. Sarah
holds a DM from Indiana University, where she studied with Stanley Ritchie,

of this community. We are grateful this year most especially for friends and
neighbors who support our work as we rebuild after the pandemic, expand
our offerings, and seek to better serve our wider community.
Our efforts to extend our welcome were helped by a number of organizations
that spread the word about our festival, especially to women and girls: Big
Brothers Big Sisters of South Central Indiana, the Boys & Girls Club of
Bloomington, Girl’s Inc., My Sister’s Closet, Middle Way House, Blooming-
ton Chamber Singers, the USA International Harp Competition, all organi-
zations with ads in this program book, and all local businesses that displayed
posters and gave out brochures.
We are grateful for Hopscotch Coffee & Café, Monroe County Public Li-
brary, Lilly Library, and the City of Bloomington for providing space free of
charge.
Thank you to our friends at The Herald Times, The Ryder, the Indiana Daily
Student, and WFIU, especially to Connie Shakalis, Elizabeth Frickey, Alexis
Lindenmayer, and Alex Chambers.
And most of all, we thank those who have offered their time, expertise, and
support to help create the festival we are celebrating this week, most especially
Sam Motter, Scott Witzke, Payton Whaley, Papageno, and Dan Melamed.
