Fanny Gribenski

Research Scholar (Jan 2018-Dez 2019)

PhD

Fanny Gribenski studied musicology and history at the École Normale Supérieure of Lyon, the Paris Conservatory, and the École des hautes études en sciences sociales. She obtained her PhD in 2015 with a dissertation on the history of concert life in nineteenth-century French churches, which served as the basis for her first book, L’Église comme lieu de concert. Pratiques musicales et usages de l’espace (1830–1905) (Actes Sud, 2019). She has been a Fondation Thiers fellow, a Fulbright postdoctoral fellow and visiting scholar at the University of California, Los Angeles, and a Dibner fellow in the history of science and technology at the Huntington Library (San Marino, California). She is currently working on her next book project, Tuning the World. Fanny Gribenski is a book review editor for the Revue de musicologie.
