FolkLib Index - Wisconsin Non-Performers

          This page lists links for current or former Wisconsin resident composers (of mostly classical music), songwriters, orchestra and band conductors, choir directors, and actors/actresses who, to my knowledge, never appeared on any recording as a singer or instrumentalist.

          All "Full Composer" members of the Wisconsin Alliance for Composers [WAC] are listed, even if they are also a recording artist (see their "Discog" link).
