Monique Buzzarté (born 1960 in San Pedro, California, United States on August 26, 1960) is a composer, trombonist, and activist was a key part of an international protest on behalf of the International Alliance for Women in Music (IAWM) against discrimination based on gender by the Vienna Philharmonic. The protests lead to the admission of women as members of the Vienna Philharmonic in 1997. The orchestra announced that harpist Anna Lelkes had been admitted as the first female member of the orchestra. Lelkes had been playing with the orchestra for twenty years but she had been denied membership due to her gender.[1]
Buzzarté's research interests include finding compositions for brass instruments by women composers.[2]
Buzzarté studied with Stuart Dempster and Ned Meredith, and is certified to teach Pauline Oliveros's deep listening practices. She holds a BA and BMus from the University of Washington and a MMus from the Manhattan School of Music.
Monique Buzzarté was the editor (with Tom Bickley) of the Anthology of Essays on Deep Listening published in 2012.[3]
