My <br /> biography will expand a portion of my doctoral dissertation document,creating a full <br /> document of research on Kauder that can be utilized for future scholarly 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 of <br /> Kauder's works. The current quest for new and interesting compositions remains a <br /> popular topic in the music community,and my project fills this need by providing an <br /> introduction to Kauder and his compositional style through experiencing his 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 County that <br /> would serve the residents of this region.These include larger venues such as UNC <br /> Chapel Hill and Duke University as well as smaller ones like Carol Woods, Carolina <br /> Meadows, and the Gathering Place. I plan to make this music accessible to citizens of <br /> all ages, races, and walks of life: students, seniors,academics, educators and everyone <br /> in between. The musical community here would also benefit from learning about the <br /> unique repertoire of this unknown composer,and in turn,musicians and artists could <br /> expand their repertoire choices and research topics to include Kauder,further <br /> broadening their knowledge and artistic scope. <br /> In addition to recording locally(I plan to use VoChor Recording Services based <br /> in Durham and record on the UNC campus), I am collaborating with local artists <br /> including Andrew McAfee (Horn Professor at UNC Chapel Hill), Brent Wissick (Cello <br /> Professor at UNC Chapel Hill), Nancy Whelan (local collaborative pianist,graduate of <br /> Meredith College and former Duke University staff accompanist), and Joseph <br /> Robinson (former Principal Oboe of the New York Philharmonic and current NC <br /> resident). This collaboration will bring attention to the musical community of Orange <br /> 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 serving 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 />
