Dr. Dorothy Glick Maglione

Dr. Dorothy Glick Maglione is an Assistant Professor of Musicology at William Kansas State University. Her research examines the intersection of immigration and music evident in the early-twentieth-century concerts that occurred at the Ellis Island Immigration Station. She is the author of “Bernstein’s ‘Omnibus’ Series” in Leonard Bernstein: In Context, edited by Elizabeth A. Wells (Cambridge University Press, 2024) and “Singing at Ellis Island” in the Oxford Handbook of Community Singing, edited by Esther Morgan-Ellis and Kay Norton (Oxford University Press, 2024). As a flutist, Maglione performs regularly in the Kansas City area and founded The Violetta Duo in 2013 with clarinetist Madelyn Moore. They performed at the 2023 and 2019 International Clarinet Association ClarinetFest, were featured artists at the 2018 National Association of Composers/USA, and give regular recitals around the country.

She also performs with and commissions pieces for Trio Enchantment, an ensemble of clarinet, horn and cello. She has taught, lectured and performed throughout the U.S., and in Belgium, Spain and China. Dr. Moore’s research on the forgotten compositions of clarinetist Heinrich Baermann has been published in The Clarinet. Carl Fischer Music publishes three of Baermann’s works edited by Dr. Moore in a volume, titled “Heinrich Baermann: Lesser-Known Works for the Clarinet.”

Currently Professor and Chair of the School of Music at BSU, Dr. Carlson is also a devoted teacher who enjoys giving master classes and workshops.
