Hi. I’m Melissa Wertheimer.

I’m a flutist, archivist, and special collections librarian based in Maryland.

I believe that musical spaces are where art, activism, conversation, and curiosity should come together.

I strive to share primary sources with all music lovers to highlight connections between music, the arts, and the humanities.

My new website is under construction!

Maybe my cat is on me. Maybe I’m playing with my toddler.

Eventually, this website will give you information about my careers in music and cultural heritage.

I also plan to have pages related to my family’s genealogy and select digitized documents from my family’s papers.

Please send me a message if you would like to:

  • book me as a flutist or piccoloist in the Baltimore-DC area

  • schedule a consultation for processing family archives and papers

  • collaborate on some weird artistic venture that brings together music, visual art, poetry, performance art, and the public good.

Stay tuned. Hopefully, this will look pretty rad.
