‘Musical Crossroads: Bonn, London, Dublin’
This research seminar uncovers crossroads of German, English, and Irish music-cultural European heritage through a discussion of selected art, children, and folk songs by the German composer Johanna Kinkel (1810‑1858).

She was an IRC-funded postdoctoral research fellow at Maynooth University from 2017 to 2018, and she is currently a visiting lecturer at Kunstuniversität Graz. On 1 April 2019, Anja will take on a research position with the Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague. Her first book, a volume on musical salon cultureco-edited with Dr Natasha Loges, is forthcoming with Boydell Press this coming spring, and her monograph on Johanna Kinkel is currently in preparation (also with Boydell Press). As a Council member of the Society for Musicology in Ireland, Anja represents the interests of early-career researchers in musicology in Ireland.
