Christopher Scheer is the associate professor of Musicology at Utah State University in Logan, UT. In 2009 he was a Leverhulme International Visiting Fellow at Liverpool Hope University where he spearheaded the organization of a colloquium on Theosophy and the Arts, out of which developed the Leverhulme sponsored network (of which he is a member), “Enchanted Modernities: Theosophy and the Arts, 1875-1960,” in which he has played an integral role as organizer, artistic director, and curator. A catalogue/edited book connected to these activities will be published by Fulgur in the coming year. Scheer’s research is focused on late nineteenth-and early twentieth-century British musical culture, and he is currently working on a monograph about the operas of Gustav Holst for the Ashgate Interdisciplinary Opera Series. In addition, he is also a visiting curator at the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art overseeing their Museum + Music series, and is a board member of the North American British Music Studies Association. Scheer takes especial pride in helping students develop their skills as critical thinkers, and has enjoyed watching many of his students go on to success in top music graduate programs across the country.
