About me:
Dr. Avior Byron is a musicologist, blogger and composer. Byron published in journals such as Music Theory Online and is currently working on a book on Schoenberg's writings on aesthetics and interpretation in performance (Oxford University Press).
Byron did his Ph.D. in Music, Royal Holloway Collage, University of London, under the supervision of Prof. John Rink. Thesis: 'Schoenberg as Performer: An Aesthetics in Practice'. B.A. Degree from Tel-Aviv University in Musicology and Orchestra Conducting.
Byron's interests concern the theory and analysis of various aspects of musical performance and interpretation: recordings, aesthetic writings, reception, history, cultural studies and philosophy. He has a special interest in avantgarde music of the twentieth century, especially that of Arnold Schoenberg. He plans to do research on twentieth-century interpretations of music from other periods, and to discuss issues of Jewish identity in music.
Byron studied composition privately with Reuven Sarussi (for about a year) and with Dr. Yuval Shaked (for two and a half years). He studied Jazz guiter with Gil Dor.
During 2004 - 2008 he lectured in the Bar-Ilan University in Israel. Courses for postgraduate students: 'Performance Studies' – meeting the most updated research on performance, 'Schoenberg’s performance aesthetics and practice', 'Research Methods' – review of contemporary research methods. Courses for undergraduate students: 'Counterpoint Bach', 'History of Western Music 1' and 'Harmony'.
Since 2006 Byron is general manager of the company Byron Seminars, which teaches languages and supplies translations. He lives in Israel, married to Jitka, who is a painter, and father of Daniela and Jonathan.
