Biography

Updated 4 May 2009 Paul Miller is both a music theorist and a performer of baroque and contemporary music. In his PhD dissertation, entitled "Stockhausen and the Serial Shaping of Space" (2009), he developed methods for analyzing the spatial motion around listeners in works of Karlheinz Stockhausen, Xenakis, and Thomas Tallis. He has taught at the Eastman School of Music, the University of Rochester, Temple University (Philadelphia), and will be taking a full-time position on the faculty of the University of Colorado in Boulder in fall 2009. Paul keeps a busy schedule appearing in various baroque ensembles in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington DC and Rochester, NY. An advocate of the viola d'amore, he has performed both old and new music for this unusual instrument, and currently plays on a 14-stringed 1772 Thomasso Eberle once owned by the novelist Thomas Mann.
