Dr. Liza Calisesi Maidens Named UIC Rising Star Researcher
|
We are excited to share that Dr. Liza Calisesi Maidens has been selected as one of UIC’s Rising Star Researchers of the Year!
Dr. Calisesi Maidens’ research focuses on historically underrepresented composers of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, particularly women and composers of color. Her recent project, Expanding the Choral Canon—a recorded album produced with Bella Voce and supported by UIC’s Award for Creative Activity—has received national recognition and advanced the accessibility of early choral repertoire.
This summer, she will continue her research at the Imogen Holst archives in England, highlighting the work of the long-overlooked 20th-century female composer.
