The authors
Matthias Röder studied music at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg before moving to Boston in 2002 to attend the musicology program at Harvard University. He lived in Berlin for two years where he has been conducting research for his dissertation on Music, Politics, and the Public Sphere in Berlin around 1800. Matthias just moved back to Boston where he is finishing this project. When not reading and writing, Matthias goes to the opera, new music concerts, and the BSO as often as possible.
