Biography

I am a young researcher in history of music trained at University and Conservatoire in Paris. My research interests are in contemporary history and include music festivals, cultural transfers between France and England and women musicians. In my PhD project ('Cultural Reconstruction? Postwar Music Festivals in the French Regions (1945-1959)'), I 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 Lyon-Fourvière, Festival de Vichy, Festival de Strasbourg).
