Dr. Lauren Ganger

Dr. Ganger holds a PhD in musicology from the Eastman School of Music. Her research investigates British figures who participated in distinctly British styles of composition, music criticism, and amateur and professional performance in the nineteenth century, demonstrating how Britain’s assertion of a distinct native musical style regulated the behavior of the emergent middle class.

She has presented research at meetings of the North American Conference on Nineteenth-Century Music; the Music in 19th-Century Britain conference; the Midwest Victorian Studies Association; the Research Society for Victorian Periodicals; and the North American British Music Studies Association, among others.
