Cary Clark came to the University of Toronto in 1991 on a two-year SSHRC post-doctoral fellowship. She continued teaching in the Faculty of Music another three years before taking up an assistant professorship in the Department of Humanities at UTSC in 1996. During her ten years at UTSC she initiated courses on “Music and Gender,” “Musicology and Film,” and “Collaborations in the Visual and Performing Arts.” Following a sabbatical at Oxford University in 2006-7, she rejoined the Faculty of Music where she is currently an Associate Professor of Musicology. Her teaching and research reflect interests in Haydn studies, contexts of performance, gender studies, opera and interdisciplinarity, Orientalism and the politics of musical reception.
Professor Clark has published in a wide range of journals and reference works. She has held three SSHRC Standard Research Grants, was the commissioning editor for the Cambridge Companion to Haydn (2005), and has a forthcoming book with Cambridge University Press entitled Haydn’s Jews: Representation and Reception on the Operatic Stage. Her latest research project, “The Jewish Diaspora in Music, Theatre and Culture: Intersections and Dialogues,” in conjunction with Professor Ruth HaCohen at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, is funded by the Halbert Foundation.
As co-chair of the Opera Exchange, a partnership between the Munk Centre for International Studies, the Jackman Humanities Institute, the Faculty of Music, and the Canadian Opera Company, Professor Clark has co-organized over two dozen symposia devoted to the multidisciplinary exploration of opera. Together with University Professor Linda Hutcheon she has guest-edited four special issues of The University of Toronto Quarterly devoted to opera, and an issue of the Opera Quarterly on Wagner’s Ring.
Caryl Clark serves on the Research Advisory Board at the University of Toronto, is an Associate member of Trinity College, and is Vice-President of the Mozart Society of America (2007-9). In 2010-11 she will be a member of the Program Committee for the Annual Meeting of the American Musicological Society.
