Biography

I am a young researcher in history of music trained in France (Paris Conservatoire, ENS de Paris, EHESS). My research interests are in contemporary history and include music festivals, cultural transfers between France and England and women musicians.My PhD at Cambridge is untitled « Music festivals in post-war France: International competition, decentralisation and cultural regionalism (1945-1975) ». I will investigate how classical music festivals acted as shelters for stage music in the context of a collapse of the traditional opera system and how a “local” focus was used to promote the idea that some towns had been protected from change in the aftermath of the Second World War, through several case studies (Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, Mai musical de Bordeaux, Festival de Royan, Théâtre des Nations).
