It is a great pleasure to announce that the Faculty of Music will welcome Dr Peter Asimov this Autumn as Assistant Professor in Western Art Music for the next three years.
A former PhD student in the Faculty, Dr Asimov currently holds a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship, and is the Lumley Junior Research Fellow at Magdalene College, Cambridge. His interdisciplinary research reimagines the history of French musical modernism from the fin-de-siècle through the post-World War Two avant-garde, combining approaches from intellectual history, archival study, musical performance studies, and music analysis. Dr Asimov's work has appeared in publications including19th-Century Music and Musique–Images–Instruments, with articles forthcoming in the Journal of Musicology and The Journal of the Royal Musical Association.
