Male Connery was a member of HCL’s Artistic Advisory Council from 2012 to 2024.

Majel Connery is a vocalist, composer and roving musicologist making electro-art-dream-pop with repressed classical influences. Her work has been called “superb” by the New York Times and “thoroughly Schubertian” by the Wall Street Journal. In 2019 she wrote songs about porn, periods, and sad fish for five episodes of Radiolab’s “Gonads” series, which was released as Radiolab’s first digital album on Bandcamp. An artist with a Ph.D., Connery has held artist residencies and professorships at institutions including Princeton, Stanford, the University of Chicago, Wellesley College, and the University of California Berkeley. A champion of women in music, she hosts the interview podcast, "A Music of Her Own" (dropping Dec 8, 2022 on NPR One/CapRadio), and tours frequently with her NY-based art-rock band, Sky Creature.
