Edward Klorman is Professor of Music at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. His first book, Mozart’s Music of Friends (Cambridge, 2016), won the ASCAP Deems Taylor Award, as well as the Marjorie Weston Emerson Award from the Mozart Society of America and the Emerging Scholar Award from the Society for Music Theory. His second book, Bach: The Cello Suites (Cambridge, 2025), examines how the Cello Suites, once dismissed as historical curiosities, have come to occupy such a prominent place in both concert life and popular culture.

 

An accomplished violist specializing in chamber music, he has performed as guest artist with the Borromeo, Orion, and Ying Quartets and the Lysander Trio. As baroque violist, he has performed with Arion Orchestre Baroque, Les Boréades de Montréal, Les Temps Perdus, and in recital with harpsichordist Hank Knox. Previously, he held the Canada Research Chair at McGill University and served as chair of Music Theory and Analysis at The Juilliard School. He is proud co-parent to Ellis, a rambunctious Portuguese Water Dog, who is not especially fond of music theory. For more information, visit www.edwardklorman.com.
