Contemporary Connections was formed in 2010 by Laura and Chloe Seddon
Laura Seddon
Laura Seddon received her doctorate in musicology from City University in 2011 and her book British Women Composers and Instrumental Chamber Music in the Early Twentieth Century is available through Ashgate. She has had recent articles in the Women’s History Network Journal andThe Musicology Review on women as musical patrons, the memorialisation of women musicians through the Blue Plaque scheme in London and she has a forthcoming chapter 'Intergenerational Relationships: The Case of the Society of Women Musicians' in Gender Age and Musical Creativity also published by Ashgate.
She has a particular interest in women’s music, stemming from a frustration at not being able to find women’s music to play as a flautist during her MMus in performance and musicology. She has spoken on aspects of women’s music at a wide variety of conferences including Sound:Gender:Feminism:Activism symposium at LCC, The Women’s History Network South study day, at the University of Kent and The Proms and British Musical Life Conference at the British Library.
