This month,  HaZak features: 

Muses: The Women of Music Hall

Throughout the 140-year history of our "Grand Lady," Cincinnati Music Hall, the contributions and legacy of incredible women -- philanthropists, suffragists, artists, divas, prima ballerinas and musicians -- have stirred the souls of all within her walls, but they have largely gone uncelebrated. From Susan B. Anthony to Helen "Nellie" Taft, Isadora  Duncan to Janis Joplin, and Maria Callas to Marnie Smith, learn how the trailblazing women of Music Hall placed the crown upon the Queen City with fortitude and brilliance.  We will learn about these women and more from historian Thea Tjepkema as she shares with us the stories of "Muses: the Women of Music Hall."

About Thea Tjepkema: Thea Tjepkema is one of Cincinnati’s most passionate advocates for the historic preservation of architecture and its power to reveal nuanced stories of people living and working within its walls. As an active preservationist, she continues to identify and guide restoration projects and historical research while serving on the Friends of Music Hall and the Cincinnati Preservation Association boards. During the 2016-17 revitalization of Cincinnati Music Hall, she spearheaded major restoration projects that are now historical highlights of the building. 

Tjepkema holds a B.F.A. in historic preservation from the Savannah College of Art and Design and an M.A. in arts administration from The University of Akron. She has worked in historic preservation, curation, archives, education, interpretation, and as a research historian at many significant historic landmark museums across the country.
