He has had to build his own instrument (cruelly sacrificing a beautiful baby cello and a serviceable guitar) to do this. The result has been an instrument capable of playing items from the viola-da-gamba repertoire (featured will be a Bach sonata and a solo piece from the Dutch Baroque), as well as bowed versions of works for guitar (in this case, two pieces by 20th-century-Mexican composer Carlos Chavez).

Professor Olivia Bloechl

We have just learned that Professor Olivia Bloech has been awarded an ACLS Charles A. Ryskamp Research Fellowship, which will fund a year’s leave and enable her to write her second book, The Politics of Memory in French Baroque Opera. Research for the book will take her to archives in Paris, Marseilles, Bordeaux, and Nantes, and she is looking forward (as who would not) to getting started with her upcoming trip to Paris in May!
