Dr. Christine Wisch is an adjunct lecturer in music at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University and at the Philip H. Hagemann Performing Arts Department at the University of Southern Indiana. She holds bachelor’s degrees in music education and Spanish from the University of Houston, as well as a doctorate and master’s degree in musicology from Indiana University. Her work as a musicologist focuses primarily on nineteenth-century Spanish classical music and issues of patronage, nationalism, and Romanticism.

A dedicated educator, Christine enjoys collaborating on audience engagement projects, and in addition to giving pre-concert lectures, she frequently writes program notes for orchestras across the country. Christine is also a trained violinist and has been performing with the Bloomington Symphony since 2013.
