Biography

Emily Dolan joined the faculty at Brown University in 2019. She previously held positions at Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania. Dolan's research focuses on music from the late 18th to 19th centuries, dealing with issues of orchestration, timbre, aesthetics, and instrumentality, as well as exploring the intersections of music, science, and technology. She has published articles in various prestigious journals, including the Journal of the American Musicological Society and Current Musicology. Her book "Orchestral Revolution: Haydn Technologies Timbre," published by Cambridge University Press in 2013, examines the origins of modern orchestration and the regulated production of musical works. In 2022, she co-edited the "Oxford Handbook of Timbre" with Alexander Rehding, for which they received the Ruth Solie Prize from the American Musicological Society. Additionally, Dolan has co-edited an upcoming volume titled "Sonic Circulations, Music, Modernism, Politics Knowledge, 1900-1960". Her current project involves exploring the ideas of instrumentality in music.
