I haven’t written here in a while, apologies. The latest news is that I’ve got a brand new job at the University of Surrey! I am starting my position of Surrey Future Senior Fellow in early April. I am super excited, it is really a rare opportunity! Three years of research only position, I am truly honoured!

I will write more here, but in the mean time – please listen to my new album! It is completely free to download, and years of research went into this – 10ich discs made from scratch!

26th November 2019

Hello from London! If you are in the neighbourhood, come and join me at Goldsmiths where I am giving a talk on early recordings. I am very happy and excited to be here!

07th November 2019

09th October 2019

Hello from Lisbon! What a wonderful and creative conference to attend. I’ve presented on the ‘Creative Processes in (Re)construction of Early Recordings’. Amazing weather, good food, and so many interesting people in one place – what a joy!

19th September 2019

This is indeed a busy month! Soon I will be going to Vienna, to join ‘Correct, but not Beautiful’ Symposium, where I am delivering a lecture-recital on impressions in wax. Exciting three days of recitals and papers – I can’t wait!

9th September 2019

I am very proud to announce yet another conference organised by the University of Huddersfield!

I will play a lecture-recital in Phipps Hall, on the 9th at 11:30am, exploring is there such a thing as the Leschetizky Method?

This is a busy week – I will also play on Friday, the 13th in Manchester, joining the RMA Annual Conference – this time I shall investigate the connection between mechanical technologies, recordings and interpretation.

8th September 2019

I’ve just realised that I haven’t updated this site with two interesting events. Fist happened in July – I played a lecture-recital in the wonderful St. Gregory’s Centre for Music in Canterbury – taking part in the 12th Music in Nineteenth-Century Britain Conference. It is always a pleasure to play in front of such wonderful audience!

And most recently I delivered a paper at PSN research forum, in University of Surrey. What an exciting event, which showed – once again – the importance of meetings like this! A huge thanks to everybody involved, it was truly great.

22nd June 2019

The day has finally come! Join us for an exciting day of research, performance and lively discussions in Pushkin House, London. We are starting at 10am, and you can see the programme here:

Early Recordings: Past Performing Practices in Contemporary Research

The event gathers around twenty international scholars who will address the use of early recordings (pre-1945) in both musicological research and creative practice, while seeking to connect researchers and performers through critical and reflective debate. This even would not be possible without a generous funding from the Leverhulme Trust, the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the Royal Musical Association.

Come and join us, it is going to be fun!

25th March 2019

After a few months of maternity leave, I am very happy to announce a research talk. Cardiff University, tomorrow – 26th of March, at the Large Lecture Theatre in the Music Building at 4:30pm. My talk, Performing, Recording and (Re)constructing: a guide for historically-informed performance, is a part of John Bird Lecture Series. I am very excited about being in Cardiff again, what a great place to be.

Izvođačke prakse devetnaestog stoljeća: odnos notacije i izvedbe, razvoj stilova i kriteriji prosuđivanja

Istraživanja o povijesnim izvedbenim praksama inherentno su složena, jer su instrumenti i stilovi izvedbi uvijek u odnosu sa specifičnim kulturnim, društvenim i povijesnim aspektima. Pored mnoštva pisanih dokumenata, muzikološka istraživanja mogu se obogatiti ranim audio zapisima koji služe kao čvrsti dokazi stilskih konvencija prošlih razdoblja. Rane snimke nude neprocjenjive uvide u različite načine čitanja glazbenog teksta u devetnaestom stoljeću, kao i promjenu stilskih konvencija u praktičnoj izvedbi koja se rijetko može prepoznati iz pisanih dokumenata, pogotovo u kontekstu fluktuacije ritma i tempa, raznih načina vibrata, portamenta i tempa rubata, te improvizacijskih elemenata. Ovo predavanje izlaže raznovrsne načine upotreba ranih audio zapisa u muzikološkim istraživanjima, propituje odnose notacije i izvedbe, te na taj način ukazuje kako moderna fonomuzikologija korištenjem tehnoloških alata može pridonijeti razumijevanju izvođačkih praksi devetnaestog stoljeća.

28th March 2018
