Zosha has co-organized, along with Columbia University Professor Ellie Hisama, a two-day online symposium for Unsung Stories: Women at Columbia’s Computer Music Center. The symposium is one part of the three-pronged project, which also includes a podcast series and a fall 2021 concert. The project is a first step focusing on the legacy of women who have studied and worked at the renowned Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center (renamed the Computer Music Center in 1996).
Unsung Stories highlights the work of women, including the work of BIPOC and LGBTQ+ composers and musicians at the Center, examining how institutional networks and intersections of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, national origin, and other identifications impacted the daily work, modes of interaction, and visibility of women composers at the CPEMC/CMC historically and in the field more broadly. It features panels, one of which Zosha will moderate, and roundtables with over thirty composers/sound artists, and scholars who will discuss the lineage, musical excellence, experience, and visibility of the diverse women who have worked at the Center from the 1950s to its recent history.
