Caryl Clark arrived at the University of Toronto in 1991 on a two-year SSHRC post-doctoral fellowship, and held a CLTA at the Faculty of Music 1993-1996. In 1996 she joined the Department of Humanities at UTSC as an Assistant Professor, and returned to the Faculty of Music as an Associate Professor in 2007 following a year-long sabbatical at Oxford University. Her teaching and research interests include Haydn studies, contexts of performance, historiography and research methods, gender and ethnicity in opera, opera and Orientalism, and the politics of musical reception. As co-chair of The Opera Exchange, in partnership with the Canadian Opera Company, she has helped organize over thirty symposia devoted to the multidisciplinary exploration of opera. (http://www.utoronto.ca/mcis/hi) She was the commissioning editor for the Cambridge Companion to Haydn (2005), and the author of Haydn’s Jews: Representation and Reception on the Operatic Stage (Cambridge 2009).  She has held three SSHRC Standard Research Grants, and a Halbert Foundation Grant (on the Jewish Diaspora in music, theatre and culture). She is currently working on a project with Thomas Tolley entitled Haydn, Orpheus, and the French Revolution. She is a member of the Research Advisory Board at the University of Toronto, a Fellow of Trinity College, and Chair of the 2011 Program Committee for the American Musicology Society.
