Special Projects
“Sound Strategies” Innovative Programming combining Music and Business
This cross-disciplinary two hour teaching workshop demonstrates and illustrates the “art of collaboration” to top-down typical business executives. With a violinist and pianist, and a MIT-trained economist and corporate consultant, Sound Strategies uses chamber music and a scripted dialog between musicians to demonstrate problem-solving and collaboration in musical performance. The corporate consultant “translates” our work as collaborative musicians into terminology familiar to business leaders. Presentation included interactive activities with the participants.
Premiere performance September, 2006, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Business School Summit at the presented by the UW-Madison Graduate School of Business.
One-Woman Show: “Private Lessons”
An original, humorous autobiographical one-woman show combining virtuoso flute music with a scripted monologue. A coming-of age-story about my background as a Mexican-American flutist growing up in Stockton, California, until my acceptance at New England Conservatory. Performed numerous times at Steinway Hall and CAMI Hall in New York, at the National Flute Association convention in Washington, D.C. and in residencies at University of Dayton, at University of North Texas, and at Skylight Theater, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 1982-2005.

Kauffmann Grant for Arts Entrepreneurship, 2008-2015:
I proposed and received a major grant from the Kauffman Foundation, as part of the campus-wide Kauffman Initiative, to create an arts entrepreneurship program at UW-Madison. For five semesters, I took a leave from performance duties with the Wingra Quintet and created the Arts Enterprise of UW-Madison.
1. The Kauffman Initiative in arts entrepreneurship began in the Spring 2008. I researched arts entrepreneurship activities in academic programs around the United States and assembled them in a final report to UW-Madison.
2. I held numerous focus groups with students in the arts to assess their needs are in the area of career planning, practical tools for career survival, and training.
3. I made recommendations for further activities in career planning for students in the arts at UW-Madison. My recommendations outlined a five-fold program I created during the following school year.
4. 2008-09: I taught the first class (“Nuts and Bolts: How to Survive in the real world and remain an artist”),
5. Created and served as faculty sponsor for the Arts Enterprise Student Association of UW-Madison.
6. Created the Arts Enterprise Symposium, January 2009 on arts entrepreneurship, attended by over 200 student and professional artists, and invited over 50 artist entrepreneurs to campus for workshops and lectures.
7. Annual competition New Arts Venture Challenge, for best new arts proposal. Top prize $2,000, three 2nd prizes of $500 each. Now in its tenth year.
8. Website on arts entrepreneurship, www.artsenterprise.wisc.edu, for students in the arts at UW-Madison, now sponsored by UW Arts Institute. Website has now become a part of UW Arts Institute: https://artsinstitute.wisc.edu.
9. Secured Additional funding. I applied for and successfully received funding from outside sources (university and non-university) and created a partnership between Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society (the music festival and nonprofit corporation which I produce in the summer each year) and the UW-Madison. Received substantial grants from Madison Community Foundation and the Evjue Foundation to create the Arts Enterprise Symposium and website.
10. Creation of Course on Arts Entrepreneurship, “Art as Business as Art:” I partnered with the UW-Madison Graduate School of Business, Bolz Center for Arts Administration, to create and deliver an innovative class, open to students in five arts disciplines as well as students outside the arts majors. National leaders in the arts make public appearances at the Overture Center, as well as in class, students research and create their own arts events and projects. Course is ongoing and is part of the new undergraduate Entrepreneurship Certificate Program from the UW Weinert Center. A new doctoral minor in Entrepreneurship has also been created. UW-Madison Arts Enterprise has been cited nationally as a model program that other universities are emulating, and using as a resource to begin their own programs.
