My project focused on the Chilean composer Carmela Mackenna (1879–1962), whose art songs have remained largely unknown despite their musical and historical significance. I created the first-ever professional recordings of her songs, helping to make this repertoire more accessible to performers, scholars, and listeners. My project also explored Mackenna’s place within Chile’s musical history and highlighted the important contributions of women composers whose works have too often been overlooked. I also created a page about Mackenna—with biographical information, recordings, scores, and other resources—on Art Song Augmented.
