Biography

Jeffrey Kallberg is the William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Music and Associate Dean of Arts and Letters at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Arts and Sciences. He specializes in the music of the 19th and 20th centuries, with a focus on editorial theory, critical theory, and gender studies. Kallberg has published extensively on the cultural contexts of Chopin's music. His notable works include the book 'Chopin Boundaries: Sex, History, Musical Genre' published by Harvard University Press. He has reconstructed Chopin's sketch of the Prelude in E-flat minor, which led to significant media attention. His critical edition of 'Luisa Miller' by Giuseppe Verdi and articles on gender in the 'New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians' further highlight his contributions to musicology. Kallberg is actively engaged in ongoing scholarly projects, including comprehensive studies of Chopin's nocturnes and the connections between modernist landscapes and Scandinavian music of the mid-20th century. He also serves on the Program Board of the National Chopin Institute in Warsaw, Poland.
