Justin Gregg

Biography

​Justin Gregg is a historical musicologist specializing in music and politics around the World Wars. In his dissertation, he examined the international ambitions of the organizers of the 1920 Amsterdam Mahler Festival, who cast the event as a quasi-diplomatic gathering of musicians from across Europe and North America in the wake of the First World War. He has presented his work at the joint annual meeting of the American Musicological Society and Society for Music Theory in Denver (2023), the first international symposium of the Wissenschaftszentrum Gustav Mahler in Vienna (2022), and regional meetings of the American Musicological Society in both Boston and Washington, DC, among other conferences.

Originally from Newark, Delaware, Dr. Gregg received his bachelor's degree from Georgetown University and his master's degree from the University of Hartford (Hartt School of Music). He went on to receive his PhD in Historical Musicology from Columbia University, where he served for two years as the director of the Collegium Musicum, a Renaissance-style vocal ensemble. In addition to the University of Delaware, he has taught courses in music at both Columbia University and the University of Hartford.​
