Marilyn McCoy

Marilyn L. McCoy is a musicologist, teacher and lecturer active in the Boston area. Since moving to New England from California in 1999, she has served on the music faculites of the University of New Hampshire and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Though primarily a "Mahler Scholar," she worked at the Arnold Schoenberg Institute in Los Angeles for the last three years of its existence (1995-1998), serving as Assistant Archivist and co-author of A Preliminary Inventory of Schoenberg Correspondence. In addition to her contributions to Schoenberg and His World, edited by Walter Frisch, and The Reader's Guide to Music: History, Theory, Criticism, edited by Murray Steib, she has also published articles on Wolf, Wagner, Debussy, and musical time. Her article "'It is my very self': The Multiple Messages of Gustav Mahler's 'Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen,'" was published in Music Observed: Studies in Memory of William C. Holmes, ed. Colleen Reardon and Susan Parisi (Harmonie Park Press, 2004). Dr. McCoy presented authoritative lectures on the Mahler Symphonies No. 5 and 6 at MahlerFest XV and XVI, and has acted as pre-concert lecturer since 2003. This year she will take part in the Festival Symposium and once again present the pre-concert lectures.
