Biography

After graduating from St. Petersburg Conservatory as a musicologist, I spent a year in Utrecht and a year in Paris studying the Middle Ages and medieval music in particular. My MPhil project at Utrecht University was dedicated to the study of early medieval notions of hearing, aural perception, and musical ear. For my PhD at Cambridge I plan to continue exploring the problems of hearing, perceiving and memorizing music within the context of medieval plainchant repertories and the earliest Western musical notations.
