Short presentation
I am a postdoctoral fellow. My main fields of interest are the composer Johann Baptist Wanhal and sacred music from the Viennese Classic era. I also have broader academic interest in theory and analysis, hermeneutic theory, music philology and the digital humanities.
Biography
I previously have a bachelor and master degree (2011-12) from the University of Trondheim (NTNU), which includes one year as an ERASMUS student at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, and a PhD from the University of Auckland (2015-19). I am general editor of the new digital Wanhal catalogue, Catalogus Novus Wanhali, and editor for the sacred music volumes in the Ignaz Pleyel-Gesamtausgabe. In addition to my academic activity I am editor of the Norwegian journal Musikk & Historie.
