About

Orit Hilewicz is assistant professor of music theory at Jacobs School of Music in Indiana University. Her research interests include relationships between musical, visual, and literary arts in contemporary music. Her publications explore intertextuality and metaphor in musical ekphrasis, compositions that take other artworks as their subject matter. Her writings on the topic, which have been published in Music Theory Online and Perspectives ofNew Music, propose strategies for listening, observing, and analyzing relationships between contemporary music and visual arts. Orit is also interested in music and sound in films and other multimedia works and analytical approaches to musical temporality. Her current projects examine issues of agency, repetition, and memory in the music ofCaroline Shaw and Morton Feldman, and literary influences in Luciano Berio’s compositional poetics. She has served as co-editor of the journal Theory and Practice and assistant editor ofPerspectives ofNew Music and is currently on the editorial board of the Music Theory Spectrum.
