Natalie Curtis Burlin (1876-1921) was born to a wealthy New York City family and initially trained for a career as a classical concert pianist. But in 1903, she left her family and training behind to study, collect, and popularize the music of American Indians and African Americans. This richly textured portrait of Curtis illuminates the life and contributions of an important early ethnomusicologist.
