🎶 Women’s History Month Spotlight: Dr. Monika Herzig 🎶

This Women’s History Month, the New Orleans Jazz Museum is celebrating the contributions of women in jazz, from performance to education and research. Today, we highlight Dr. Monika Herzig, a jazz pianist, professor, researcher, and advocate for diversity in jazz.

Dr. Herzig is the Vice Rector for Diversity and Internationalization and Professor for Artistic Research at Jam Music Lab Private University in Vienna. She is the author of David Baker – A Legacy in Music and Experiencing Chick Corea: A Listener’s Companion, as well as the co-editor of Jazz and Gender. She also serves as the chair of the research committee for the Jazz Education Network (JEN) and is on the editorial committee for JAZZ (Jazz Education in Research and Practice, IU Press).

As a jazz pianist, Dr. Herzig has toured internationally, opening for acts such as Tower of Power, Sting, and Yes. Her music has received DownBeat Magazine Awards and has been featured on NPR and JazzWeek. Her all-female jazz supergroup, Sheroes, was named one of DownBeat Magazine’s Best Groups of 2018, and her composition “Just Another Day at the Office” was included in New Standards: 101 Lead Sheets by Female Composers (Berklee Press, 2022).

Her achievements include a 1994 DownBeat Magazine Award for Best Original Song, a Jazz Journalist Association Hero Award (2015), and grants from organizations such as the NEA, Indiana Arts Commission, MidAtlantic Arts, and the US Embassy. Dr. Herzig is also a CASIO Artist.

Join us all month long as we continue to highlight the women shaping the past, present, and future of jazz.
