Kristin Wendland, Senior Lecturer, holds the B.M. in Theory from Florida State University, M.M. in Composition from the College-Conservatory of Music of the University of Cincinnati, and the PhD in Composition from the City University of New York. Her music theory courses at Emory have included Graduate Form and Analysis, Graduate Theory Review, undergraduate music theory, theory labs, keyboard skills, and applied piano. She also gives a seminar "Tango: Argentina's Art Form in Body, Mind, and Spirit," both as a Freshman Seminar and as 300-level course on the Summer Study Abroad Program in Buenos Aires. Before coming to Atlanta, Dr. Wendland taught composition, theory, and piano at the Third Street Music School in New York from 1983 to 1992. Her vocal and instrumental music has been performed in New York, Cincinnati, and Atlanta. She is past-chair of the Society for Music Theory's Committee on Diversity, and she has also served GAMUT (Georgia Association of Music Theorists) as president, secretary, and editor of the GAMUT Journal. She has contributed to the International Dictionary of Black Composers, A Liszt Companion, edited by Ben Arnold, and the College Music Society Newsletter. Presently, she is the Board Member for Music Theory for the College Music Society. Wendland's current research interests include the music and dance of Argentine tango and music theory pedagogy. She has read papers, participated in panel sessions, and led demonstration workshops on these topics for the College Music Society, the Society for Music Theory, and the Society for Ethnomusicology. She has organized, co-directed, narrated, and performed Argentine tango programs that consisted of a series of dance and music scenes depicting the history of tango with Tangueros Emory and Friends at the Georgia State University Rialto Theater in March 2005 and at the Performing Arts Studio at Emory in March 2006. She is the faculty advisor for the Emory College Club Tangueros Emory and is the director of the newly-formed Emory Tango Ensemble. Wendland received a Fulbright Lecture and Research grant in 2005, which enabled her to give a seminar in Schenkerian analysis at the Universidad Católica Argentina in Buenos Aires and to pursue her research in the music of Argentine tango.
