Paul Berry completed both his B.A. in Humanities and Music (summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa) and his Ph.D. in Musicology at Yale University. His dissertation situates Johannes Brahms's compositional process and musical memory within the context of several of the composer's close personal friendships. Dr. Berry's scholarly interests range from chamber music and song in nineteenth-century Germany to sacred music in sixteenth century Italy; he recently published an article on Brahms and Clara Schumann in the Journal of Musicology. He has received a Mrs. Giles M. Whiting Fellowship in the Humanities, the American Musicological Society's Paul A. Pisk Prize for best paper delivered by a graduate student at a national meeting of the Society, and the American Brahms's Society's Karl Geiringer Scholarship. While at Yale, he was appointed a graduate affiliate of the Whitney Humanities Center. Dr. Berry is also active as a professional tenor specializing in early music, German Lieder, and 20th-century compositions. He has appeared in Connecticut as the Evangelist in Bach's Saint John Passion as well as in numerous cantatas and oratorios; recent solo recitals have included Britten's Winter Words, Schubert's Winterreise, and Schumann's Dichterliebe, for which he was accompanied by the noted pianist and critic Charles Rosen.
