The Life & Music of Alma Moodie Part 1 & 2
Podcast guests
Kay Dreyfus is a musicologist and historian and an Associate Research Fellow in the Australian Centre for Jewish Civilisation at Monash University. Kay published an English-language biographical study of Alma Moodie, Bluebeard’s Bride, in 2013. More recently she edited The Fractured Self, a book featuring some 270 out of more than 500 letters from the Alma Moodie collection.
Diana K. Weekes is a pianist, and a graduate from the University of Melbourne. She also studied musicology at the University of Munich before transferring to the Hochschule für Musik, where she completed her Meisterklassendiplom in solo performance. Since 1981 Diana has worked in Adelaide, where she now teaches piano privately and has revived her interest in Germanistik. She also translated Albrecht Dümling’s The Vanished Musicians.
Goetz Richter is Associate Professor at the University of Sydney’s Conservatorium of Music where he supervises research students and teaches violin performance, chamber music and courses in the philosophy of music. Goetz has been intrigued by Alma Moodie for decades and has performed much of the music associated with the violinist.
Michael Haas has dedicated much of his career to the recovery of music lost during the years of the Third Reich. Michael is senior researcher, co-founder and chair of the exil.arte Centre, based at Vienna’s University for Music and Performing Arts. In 2013 he published Forbidden Music: The Jewish Composers Banned by the Nazis, and has just completed a book on the music of Exile, to be published soon by Yale University Press. In The Fractured Self, Michael contributed the essay Alma Moodie and the Third Reich.
