Born in Athens, Greece, I retired a few years ago as 1684 Professor of Music at the University of Cambridge. I've written across an unusually wide range of musical subjects, and for a wide range of readerships: at one end there are academic books like The Schenker project (which won the 2010 Wallace Berry Award of the Society of Music Theory), at the other Music: A Very Short Introduction, published or forthcoming in 17 languages and recently issued in a completely rewritten second edition. Other books cover broad musical topics such musical performance and creativity. My most recent pubications are Music: Why it Matters, a very short book that focusses on a range of contemporary issues through a musical lens, and Music, Encounter, Togetherness, a much longer book that sets out a model of music as social encounter and develops it through a series of intercultural case studies.
