Sterling Lambert assistant professor of musicology and theory
Sterling Lambert was born in London in 1968.  After completing B.A. and M.Phil degrees in musicology at Cambridge University, he moved to the United States, where he completed his Ph.D. at Yale University in 2000, with a dissertation on Schubert’s multiple settings of poetry.  After graduating from Yale, where he was awarded the prestigious Whiting Fellowship in the Humanities, he spent a number of years in Boston, where he taught at both Tufts and Harvard Universities before taking up his current position at St. Mary’s in January 2006. Mr. Lambert’s particular area of interest lies in text-music relationships and issues of intertextuality in music of the nineteenth century.  He has given a number of conference presentations on these topics, including papers at the annual meeting of the American Musicological Society.  His work has been published in the Journal of Musicology and Eighteenth Century Music, and he is currently revising and expanding his Ph.D. dissertation to form a book.  Also active as a professional singer, Mr. Lambert has had particularly extensive experience in the field of church music and has sung with some of the most important choirs in both the United Kingdom and the United States, including those of St. John’s College Cambridge, San Francisco’s Grace Cathedral, and the Church of the Advent in Boston.
