Biography
Christine E. Wisch is a musicologist whose primary research explores nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Spanish classical music, focusing on issues of patronage, nationalism, gender, and Ibero-American historiography. She earned her master’s and doctoral degrees in musicology at Indiana University, where she also completed a minor in ethnomusicology. She holds bachelor’s degrees in music education and Spanish from the University of Houston.
Now a consultant for the LAMC, Wisch previously served as a staff member and later created and taught the Introduction to Latin American Art Music course for the LAMC’s undergraduate minor curriculum. She also recently taught at IU as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Musicology and Music in General Studies, offering courses on Women Musicians, Symphonic Music, Chamber Music, the Music of Spain, and more.
Dr. Wisch currently serves as a Teaching Assistant Professor of Music History at the University of Southern Indiana. Her research has been presented at conferences in the United States, Poland, Spain, and Ireland. She also contributed as a consultant for Hispanic topics to the most recent edition of The Norton History of Western Music and its accompanying anthologies. Her current book project, Music and Nation in Early Romantic Spain (under contract with Boydell and Brewer), investigates the dynamic relationship between music, politics, and national identity in 1830s Madrid.
