Jeremy Coleman is a musicologist and pianist with research interests that centre on music of the long nineteenth century, intellectual and material history, and critical/social theory. Following primary and secondary education in the Scottish state sector, he went on to read for degrees in Music (BA) and in Musicology (MPhil) at Clare College Cambridge. He received a PhD in Musicology from King’s College London in 2016. He currently lectures in the Department of Music Studies, School of Performing Arts, University of Malta, and oversees research activities in the School of Performing Arts. His first book Richard Wagner in Paris: Translation, Identity, Modernity was published by Boydell & Brewer in 2019. He is currently working on a major study of music historiography and historical performance practice from Charles Burney to Felix Mendelssohn’s ‘historical concerts’ that, among other things, investigates the early history of ‘early music’ revival. As a pianist Jeremy particularly enjoys chamber music and art song as well as interdisciplinary collaboration, and is delighted to be working with Opera Nova Project.
