Natalie Artemas-Polak
Writer
Natalie is a musicologist, teacher and performing musician currently living in Burlington, Ontario. A veteran of three universities she has done research specialising in early twentieth-century English music, particularly that of composer Gustav Holst, resulting in two dissertations on the man and his music, one for the University of Surrey, England, and one for the University of Western Ontario.
She has also written essays and lecture/presentations for Huddersfield and Bristol universities, as well as being guest-lecturer at the Holst Birthplace Museum in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
Her familiarity with six languages enables her to correspond cross-culturally, and this has been of use in an interview with the contemporary Russian composer Nikolai Kapustin during his first visit to the UK in 2001 (an article which was destined for Gramophone Japan magazine).
Natalie also writes for Music & Vision Daily and the EU Writers, among others.
