Event details

The music department is delighted to welcome music journalist Kate Molleson for an online session in our First Edition series.

About the talk

Matthew Shlomowitz will interview Kate Molleson about her book Sound Within Sound , published by Faber in July 2022. This radical new book fundamentally changes the way we think about global classical music and the musicians who made it during the twentieth century.

Speaker information

Kate Molleson is a journalist and broadcaster who presents BBC Radio 3’s New Music Show and Music Matters. Her documentaries (BBC Radio 4, BBC World Service) have investigated music in Greenland, opera in Mongolia, lost recordings of Arabic classical music and the Ethiopian nun/pianist/composer Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou.

Her articles are published in The Guardian, The New Statesman, Prospect, The Herald, BBC Music Magazine, Opera, Gramophone and elsewhere.

She grew up in various parts of Scotland and the north of Canada and studied clarinet performance at McGill University (Montreal) and musicology at King’s College London, where she researched the operas of Ezra Pound. She was a copy editor, music critic and cycling columnist for the Montreal Gazette and deputy editor of Opera magazine before returning home as the Guardian’s classical music critic in 2010. She lives in Edinburgh.
