David Salkowski

David Salkowski is a scholar of music in Late Imperial Russia, the Russian diaspora, and the Balkans. His work, based in archival research in Russia, Switzerland, and the US, focuses on interactions between music and religion, modernist aesthetics, labor, and institutional history. As an educator, he aims to emphasize global/connected histories, history from below, and research and writing skills.

Salkowski's research has been supported by grants from the Fulbright Foundation, the Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies, the American Musicological Society, the American Council of Learned Societies, and the Center for Advanced Studies in Sofia. His research appears in multiple journals and edited volumes, and he is currently completing a monograph on the revival of Russian Orthodox music.
