Profile

Dr. Batstone is a historical musicologist whose research sits at the intersection of art music, politics, and philosophy, with a particular focus on Central and Eastern Europe. Her first book, Mahler's Nietzsche: Politics and Philosophy in the Wunderhorn Symphonies, was published by Boydell and Brewer in 2023. A leading scholar of art music in Ukraine, she is currently working on two forthcoming publications: a monograph on Ukrainian musical modernism and a handbook on Stefania Turkevych’s Symphony No. 1—the first known symphony by a Ukrainian woman composer. She is also co-editing Perspectives on Ukrainian Music (Indiana University Press) and organizing a special issue on Ukraine in Musicologica Austriaca. Her scholarship has appeared in Journal of the Royal Musical Association, Music and Letters, 19th-Century Music, and Musicology Now, and her forthcoming article in the Journal of the American Musicological Society explores Ukrainian modernism in the context of imperial music histories. She is also the founder and creative director of the Ukrainian Contemporary Music Festival in New York City.
