Adjunct Faculty - Music History
Dawn De Rycke, Adjunct Faculty, holds a BM in Guitar, and Masters degrees in Guitar Performance and Music History from the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University. She is writing her dissertation at the University of Chicago, on the intersections of cathedral music and civic identity in 16th century Seville. Her scholarly concentrations include guitar and vihuela literature, “feminine voice” in early modern song, and local identities and cultural commerce between Seville and other civic centers in the 16th century. The Fulbright Commission, the Program for Cultural Cooperation between Spain’s Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports and US Universities, and the University of Chicago Doolittle and Wadmond Fellowships have all bestowed support for her research, some of which has been published in the Journal of the Lute Society of America, Revista Portuguesa de Musicologia and the award-winning essay collection edited by Martha Feldman and Bonnie Gordon, The Courtesan’s Arts: Cross-Cultural Perspectives.
