Manfred Permoser

Manfred Permoser serves as a Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Music History within the Faculty of Philological and Cultural Studies, University of Vienna. He actively supervises doctoral candidates in the Graduate Center's Structured Doctoral Program Performing Matters and contributes to Master's programs in Musicology, Ethnomusicology, and Music in Society.

His research spans Historical Musicology with emphasis on Renaissance-era practices, musician family networks, and viral dissemination of early music. Current institute projects he aligns with include Musician families, GOING VIRAL: A World Within a Room?, the New Senfl Edition, and Performers as Commissioners, reflecting his focus on socio-historical contexts of music production. The institute's digital platform Music History Online (musikgeschichte.at) serves as a key resource for his scholarly framework.

Dr. Permoser engages in curriculum development for the newly structured Master's degree in Musicology (effective winter semester 2025), particularly in historical methodology and thesis supervision. His work intersects with the Arnold Schönberg Science Center and Vienna Mahler Lectures series, though specific collaborative outputs remain undocumented in available sources.
