Jeffrey Kallberg is William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Music and Deputy Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania.  He is a specialist in music of the 19th and 20th centuries, editorial theory, critical theory, and gender studies. Kallberg has published widely on the music and cultural contexts of Chopin, most notably in his book, Chopin at the Boundaries: Sex, History, and Musical Genre (Harvard University Press). His critical edition of Luisa Miller, for The Works of Giuseppe Verdi (Casa Editrice Ricordi and The University of Chicago Press), has been performed throughout Europe and the United States.  His current projects include books on Chopin’s nocturnes and on Chopin’s things, and an investigation into the links between ideas of landscape and modernism, especially in Scandinavian music from the first half of the twentieth century. In 2019, he was appointed to the Rada Programowa (“Program Board”) of the Narodowy Instytut Fryderyka Chopina [“Fryderyk Chopin Institute”] in Warsaw, Poland.
