this project, I am in the midst of publishing magazine and journal articles for Mute <br /> Talk,the Journal of the American Musicological Society, and the Journal of the Society <br /> ofAmerican Music about Hugo Kauder and about my doctoral research that will also <br /> work to gather interest in Kauder as a focus for research and performance. My <br /> biography will expand a portion of my doctoral dissertation document, creaming a <br /> full document of research on Kauder that can be utilized for future scholarly <br /> endeavors. <br /> A revival of Kauder's repertoire through this project,would not only be a <br /> significant addition to flute literature,but it would also support the Hugo Kauder <br /> Society's mission of promoting exposure, analysis, and the continued performance <br /> of Kauder's works. The current quest for new and interesting compositions remains <br /> a populartopic in the music community, and myproject fills this need byproviding <br /> an introduction to Kauder and his compositional style through experiencing his <br /> music. <br /> Community Impact— <br /> The impact on the Orange County community will take several significant <br /> forms. I plan to perform a series of free concerts in and around Orange Courtythat <br /> would serve the residents of this region. These include larger venues such as UNC <br /> Chapel Hill and Duke U niversity as well as smaller ones like Carol Woods, Carolina <br /> Meadows, and the Gathering Place. I plan to make this music accessible to citizens <br /> of all ages, races, and walks of life: students, seniors, academics,educators and <br /> everyone in between. The musical community here would also benefit from learning <br /> about the unique repertoire of this unknown composer,and in turn, musicians and <br /> artists could expand their repertoire choices and research topics to include Kauder <br /> further broadening their knowledge and artistic scope. <br /> In addition to recording locally (I plan to use VoChor Recording Services <br /> based in Durham and record on the U NC campus), I am collaborating with Ideal <br /> artists including Andrew McAfee (Horn Professor at U NC Chapel Hill), Brent Wissi6 <br /> (Cello Professor at U NC Chapel Hill), Nancy Whelan (local collaborative pianist, <br /> graduate of Meredith College and former Duke University staff accompanist), and <br /> Joseph Robinson (former Principal Oboe of the New York Philharmonic and current <br /> NC resident). This collaboration will bring attention to the musical community of <br /> Orange County as the recording is disseminated regionally and nationally. <br /> Once the project is done,the CD will be introduced to the community through <br /> distribution in local businesses. I plan to donate copies of the CD to local public and <br /> university libraries, K-12 schools, restaurants,and bookshops,thereby serv.ng as <br /> many populations as possible. My continued exposure at local arts events and <br /> performance appearances will further present Kauder's work to the greater <br /> community.And, I will continue promotion of this project through my connections <br /> with the North Carolina Virtual Public School,the North Carolina Music Educator's <br /> Association,and the North Carolina Arts Coordinators. <br />
