Liane Curtis writes and researches about historic women composers and has a Ph.D. in Musicology. Liane began working with the BWHT as part of her quest to have Amy Beach's name added to the 87 names of male composers that adorn the Hatch Shell on the Charles River Esplanade. Beach was added to the Shell in July 2000, and the Boston Pops performed some of Beach's music at the unveiling. Liane joined the BWHT Board in the fall of 2000. She is affiliated with the Women's Studies Research Center at Brandeis University (http://www.brandeis.edu/centers/wsrc/), and also taught at Brandeis in the spring of 2007. She is the founder of The Rebecca Clarke Society, Inc. (www.rebeccaclarke.org), and edited A Rebecca Clarke Reader, the first book on that composer.
