About Maureen Buja

From the time I was an undergraduate musicology major, through my PhD in Renaissance music publishing, Musicology has been what I love to do. I’ve worked in the field of writing and editing in New York, London, Hong Kong, Muscat, and Athens, teaching and training new musicologists, giving pre-concert lectures, and, most recently, establishing a new music library at the Royal Opera House in Muscat. Now based in Athens, I view myself as an international musicologist, going to opera productions in Bangkok and at Glyndebourne, to chamber music recitals in New York and Shanghai, and seeking new music in Vienna, Athens, and the Middle East. Interlude brings the world of music to you and I’m very pleased to be part of this international project.
