Bio

Jeremy Coleman (PhD) is a Resident Lecturer in Music in the Department of Music Studies, School of Performing Arts, University of Malta, and Area Director in Research for the School of Performing Arts. He is a musicologist and collaborative pianist with interests in research and in teaching on various topics centred on 19th-century musical repertoire and culture. He has taught at the University of Aberdeen, University of Cambridge, and King's College London. He has degrees in Music (BA Hons) and Musicology (MPhil) from Clare College Cambridge in 2010 and 2011, and a PhD in Musicology from King’s College London in 2016.

His first book Richard Wagner in Paris: Translation, Identity, Modernity appeared with Boydell & Brewer in 2019 and has been reviewed in The Wagner Journal (Heath Lees), The Musical Times (Arnold Whittall), Choice (Brian Doherty), Wagner Notes (Peter Bloom), Die Musikforschung (Stephanie Schroedter), Volupté: Interdisciplinary Journal of Decadence Studies (Michael Craske) [open access: https://volupte.gold.ac.uk/translation], Opera (Chris Walton), Transposition: Musique et Sciences Sociales (Jennifer Rushworth) [open access: https://journals.openedition.org/transposition/5503], Opera News (David J. Baker), and Notes (Woodrow Steinken) ('Original, valuable and highly absorbing, especially where it unpacks new and exhilarating discourses from fields other than musicology...a fascinating story' The Wagner Journal).

He has published articles and book reviews in journals including Music & Letters, Current Musicology, The Wagner Journal, The Chopin Review, and Marx & Philosophy Review of Books, and has translated academic essays. He has also contributed numerous entries in The Cambridge Wagner Encyclopedia, ed. Nicholas Vazsonyi (Cambridge University Press, 2013) and The Cambridge Stravinsky Encyclopedia, eds. Edward Campbell and Peter O'Hagan (2021). He is a peer reviewer for several Cambridge University Press journals.

As a pianist, Jeremy has collaborated with choreographers and dancers, performing piano works by Béla Bartók and György Ligeti for contemporary dance productions. While based in Aberdeen (between 2015 and 2020), he worked extensively as an accompanist, repetiteur and chamber-music partner in a variety of repertoire.

During his residency as visiting researcher at LaM, Jeremy will be engaged in research projects that cover a range of methodologies, including an edition and English-language translation of François-Joseph Fétis's Wagner writings, in collaboration with Dr Adeline Heck, and a major project on musical historicism and music historiography
