[Vera Wolkowicz]

Dear friends and colleagues,
 
I hope this message finds you well. As you know, our dear colleague Juan Fernando Velásquez has finished his term as Outgoing Chair and it is time to elect a new Incoming Chair for our study group to work jointly with me and Javier Marín-López, who is now our new Chair. After consultations with several members, we have two outstanding candidates: 
 
Jacqueline (Jacky) Avila is an Associate Professor in Musicology/Ethnomusicology at the University of Texas at Austin. Her research examines music and the intersections of identity, tradition, and modernity in film, television, and streaming media in the United States and Mexico. Her book is entitled Cinesonidos: Film Music and National Identity during Mexico’s época de oro, published with Oxford University Press, Music/Media Series. Dr. Avila was the recipient of the UC MEXUS Dissertation Research Grant, the American Musicological Society’s Howard Mayer Brown Fellowship, the UC MEXUS Postdoctoral Fellowship, and the Robert E. Greenleaf Visiting Library Scholar Award. Her publications can be found in the Journal of Film Music, Latin American Music Review, American Music, Opera Quarterly, the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Latin American History, the edited volume Cinema Between Latin American and Los Angeles: Origins to 1960, and the forthcoming Oxford Handbooks on Television Music and the Disney Musical. Dr. Avila’s current projects focus on transnationalism, nostalgia, and cultural identity in Latinx film and streaming media and the musical cultures on the US-Mexico border.
 
Eduardo Sato is an assistant professor of musicology/ethnomusicology in the School of Performing Arts at Virginia Tech. He completed his PhD in musicology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He holds a MA in musicology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a MA in Brazilian Studies from the University of São Paulo, a BA in Social Sciences from the University of São Paulo and a BA in Economics from Insper. Sato specializes in Brazilian music in the twentieth century. His approach to archival work in music explores diverse musical cultures from different traditions, whether popular, art, folkloric, or experimental. Sato’s current book project explores the transnational relations of Brazilian music in the first half of the twentieth century investigating the ways in which border crossing conferred meanings to music and to nation. He has presented his work in several international conferences, including meetings of the Society for Ethnomusicology, the International Musicological Society, and the Brazilian Studies Association. His article "Cannibalizing Bach: Villa-Lobos in Europe, 1936" was published in Twentieth Century Music. Sato has received several grants to conduct research archives in the United States, France, and Brazil from the American Musicological Society, the American Philosophical Society, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He was the honorary recipient of the Robert Walser and Susan McClary Fellowship from the Society for American Music and held the Howard Mayer Brown Fellowship from the American Musicological Society. He currently serves on the Eileen Southern Travel Fund Committee from AMS and the John Koegel Latin American / Latinx Music Fellowship Committee from SAM.
