Christian Glanz

Christian Glanz serves as a Senior Lecturer (Privatdozent) and doctoral supervisor at the Institute of Musicology, University of Vienna, actively guiding PhD candidates through the Graduate Center's "Performing Matters" structured doctoral program.

His research aligns with the institute's core initiatives in historical musicology, including longitudinal studies of musician families (Musikerfamilien), viral music transmission (GOING VIRAL), Renaissance performance practices (New Senfl Edition), and socio-cultural contexts of musical patronage (Performers as Commissioners). This work emphasizes interdisciplinary analysis of primary sources within Central European traditions, particularly the Viennese School and Gustav Mahler's modernist legacy.

As a supervisor, Glanz contributes to doctoral training through the Doc Buddy Program and specialized workshops, focusing on methodological rigor in historical music research. His academic role integrates teaching, supervision, and collaborative project leadership within the institute's research ecosystem.
