SHE began in 2019 as a celebration of the contributions and artistry of women in music throughout the month ofMarch by students, faculty, and large ensembles at the University of Arkansas. In the spring of 2022, the SHEcommittee decided to share the event nationally to bring talented individuals together, creating a space oftransparency and support surrounding female identity in music. The 2024 SHE: Festival of Women in Music includes performances and lectures focusing on the careers andmusic of those who identify as non-cis-male. The festival has brought over one hundred guest artists andlecturers to campus and continues to feature University of Arkansas faculty and students.Moon-Sook Park, committee chairIntroductionCommittee MembersRachel FrederiksenAmanda Lenora Green-TurnerTheresa DelaplainKatey J.

keynote speakerTàhirih MotazedianFriday, March 1st - 5PMHillside Auditorium 206 Music as Therapy, Music as Pathology: The NeverEnding StoryAbstract: As long as music has existed, humans have both feared and revered its power.Throughout time and across the globe, music has been hailed as a potent tool for mental,physical, and spiritual healing as well as societal unification. Simultaneously, music hasalso been pathologized as a dangerous weapon that can damage minds, bodies, morality,and destroy society. Music has always been harnessed for wildly opposing agendas, andevery generation repeats the same patterns, always thinking they are unique to the musicof the time. This talk explores the bizarre and complex history of how humans perceivemusic as a tool for both harming and healing, tracing both threads from their historicalorigins through the present day. Táhirih Motazedian is an assistant professor of music theory atVassar College. She has a PhD in music theory from Yale University,and her book, Key Constellations: Interpreting Tonality in Film, waspublished in 2023 by University of California Press. Before becominga music theorist, Táhirih worked for NASA as a planetary scientistand mission operations specialist, working on the Apollo, Genesis,and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter missions. She got her start inresearch at the Arkansas Center for Space and Planetary Sciences.

Saturday, March 2nd - 7:30PMFaulkner Performing Arts CenterRECEPTION TO FOLLOWGuest Artist RecitalDara Starr TuckerReferred to as “a fighter for social justice wielding music as a balm,” (Grammy.com) DARA STARRTUCKER melds her presence as a singer-songwriter, social media commentator, and satirist on culturaland racial equity, human rights, music, and film. Over the past three years, Tucker has amassed anastounding audience of one million followers via the TikTok platform. Her video commentary on socialjustice and her original songs have been featured with HBO, FX, BET, OWN Network, Revolt! TV,Shondaland, and Ebony/Jet.Tucker’s voice and perspective are tailored to the post-pandemic world with an emphasis on self-reflection, mental wellness and, ultimately, healing. “There is unity between the content I share online,the music I make, and what I say — it all comes from the same place,” Tucker said. “It’s my hope that whatI express speaks to others who are experiencing similar things.” Tucker’s eclecticism is guided by the diversity of her experiences. Tucker’s parents were music ministerswho taught their children to sing. The family traveled singing gospel extensively throughout the UnitedStates. Tucker studied International Business, German, and Mass Media Communications at theundergraduate and graduate levels. From there, she experienced a diverse array of locales that she hascalled home including Interlaken, Switzerland; Nashville, Tennessee, New York City and Philadelphia,Pennsylvania.
