Florence Foster Jenkins Collection at Schubertiade Music & Arts

Schubertiade Music & Arts (a former employer of one of MN‘s curators) is offering a special collection of material about Florence Foster Jenkins on the occasion of the premiere of the biopic starring Meryl Streep. Since so much of the public imagination about musicians is shaped by this genre of film, it is worth remembering how public musicology can be carried out on the silver screen.
