Researcher at the Department of Musicology.

Anja Bunzel holds a research position at the Musicology Department, Institute of Art History, Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague, as part of which she pursues a comparative study on musical repertoire in nineteenth-century regular private social gatherings in eight European cities. She graduated from Freie Universität, Berlin, in 2012 with a First Class Honours Master’s Degree in musicology with a thesis on the reception history of Robert Schumann’s ‘Paradise and the Peri’. From 2012 to 2016, she pursued PhD studies at Maynooth University, where she researched Johanna Kinkel’s Lieder compositions within their own socio-cultural context. She was a postdoctoral research fellow at Maynooth University from October 2017 to September 2018. Her postgraduate and postdoctoral studies were funded by the Irish Research Council. She is passionate about travelling and has given presentations on various aspects of her research in Austria, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Russia, Serbia, Turkey, and the UK. She is co-editor of Musical Salon Culture in the Long Nineteenth Century (Boydell, 2019), and her monograph on Johanna Kinkel’s Lieder is currently in preparation (Boydell, forthcoming).
