Michael Vincent, serving as an Assistant Professor at the School of Music, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, is a musicologist, educator, and author. His research on eighteenth-century music is published in Boccherini Studies, Age of Revolutions, Ad Parnassum, and Notes. His book chapter, published in Oxford University Studies in the Enlightenment, explores the historiography of eighteenth-century composer Luigi Boccherini. His research situates eighteenth-century music in diasporic communities, revealing connections between musical style and ideology in European classical music. His methodologies unite archival and historical research with interdisciplinary cultural studies. By focusing on musical culture during the Enlightenment, Dr. Vincent uses music as a compass to explore wider trends that emerged in the Age of Reason and continue to shape our world today. Dr. Vincent has presented at national and international conferences, including the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies, the American Musicological Society, and the First International Luigi Boccherini Conference. He is the editor for the Society for Eighteenth-Century Music Newsletter and holds a PhD in musicology from the University of Florida.
