Thomas Christensen is the Avalon Foundation Professor of Music and the Humanities at the University of Chicago. He is the author or editor of over sixty publications, including Rameau and Musical Thought in the Enlightenment (Cambridge University Press, 1993), The Cambridge History of Western Music Theory (2002), and most recently, Stories of Tonality in the Age of François-Joseph Fétis (2019). Among his more recent awards are Fellowships from the American Academy in Berlin (2002), the Wissenschaftskolleg (Berlin, 2011), an ACLS Senior Research Fellowship (2016), and a Guggenheim Fellowship (2019).
Zhuqing (Lester) S. Hu is an assistant professor in the Department of Music at the University of California Berkeley. His research focuses on the global history of music during the so-called early modern period—both on the time period itself, typically defined as late 1400s to early 1800s, and on its much-debated “early modern” label. He has held the Luce/ACLS Early Career Fellowship in China Studies, the Townsend Fellowship, the CLIR/Mellon Fellowship, and the Howard Mayer Brown Fellowship.
Carmel Raz is an assistant professor of music at Cornell University and leader of the research group “Histories of Music, Mind, and Body” at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics in Frankfurt am Main. She has published widely on the intertwined histories of music and the neural sciences and on the histories of musical attention and cognition. She is the author of Hearing with the Mind: Proto-Cognitive Music Theory in the Scottish Enlightenment (Oxford University Press, 2025).
Caleb Mutch is a research scientist in music theory and digital humanities at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics in Frankfurt am Main. He holds a PhD in music theory from Columbia University. His research covers a variety of periods within the history of music theory, and includes the creation of a digital critical edition of Pietro d’Abano’s commentary on the pseudo-Aristotelian Problemata (book XIX).
