• Education: Studied literature and musicology at LMU

His research spans 19th-century lieder, opera, film music analysis, and broader contexts like 'Music and Sexuality' and 'Religion on the Opera Stage.' Collaborative projects emphasize bridging academia and performance, particularly through program booklets and concert introductions. His work also explores the intersection of music with literature (e.g., Goethe settings) and societal frameworks.

As a founding member and pianist of the vocal ensemble Nostalphoniker since 2003, Golch combines performance with scholarly practice. He actively engages in adult education through concert introductions and holds a project management role at the Géza Anda Foundation in Zurich.

Administrative roles include academic staff representation on the Department of Fine Arts management board, library representative for musicology (2020–2025), and former chairmanship (2008–2020) of the Association of Friends of Musicology in Munich.
