Biography

I am the AHRC DTP Fellow in Music at the Faculty of Music, University of Cambridge. Alongside research, I am a broadcaster for BBC Radio 3 and a violinist for period orchestras across Europe.   

In 2023, I received my PhD from King’s College, Cambridge under the supervision of Bettina Varwig and with funding support from the AHRC DTP and the Isaac Newton Trust. My research focuses on early modern Germany and the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. I combine approaches from cultural history, historical phenomenology, and musical analysis. 

My current research projects include: Opera and protest in Paris 2023; Musical metaphors in early modern Lutheran Germany; Chinoserie in 18th-century Europe.    

Prior to Cambridge, I studied for an MA in historical violin performance with Matthew Truscott at the Royal Academy of Music in London. I perform regularly with orchestras including the Dunedin Consort, The English Concert, Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique, and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.
