Emily Kilpatrick will present on her latest and recently published book, 'Critical Lives: Maurice Ravel' (Reakton, 2025). Roy is internationally renowned as a pianist and scholar, his concerts, broadcasts, lectures and masterclasses regularly take him worldwide. Emily is a scholar of French music and its cultural and literary intersections through the long nineteenth century. She is particularly interested in the creative exchange between musical practice and documentary research.
