Geoffrey Chew is Emeritus Professor in the Department of Music. He was educated in South Africa, at the Royal College of Music and subsequently at Cambridge University; his PhD at Manchester University was supervised by Hans F. Redlich. He lectured in music in South Africa and at Aberdeen University before moving to Royal Holloway. He has published on a wide variety of topics from the Middle Ages to contemporary music and also on music theory, but his principal research interests are in Czech and Slovak music (especially Janacek), relationships between literature and music, music analysis and reception history.

He will not be teaching full-time at Royal Holloway this academic year, but will be convening the MMus pathway in Opera Studies, and continuing some PhD supervision. He will also be establishing and teaching some new graduate courses in the Department of Musicology at the University of Brno in the Czech Republic, but can still be contacted on a regular basis through the Music Department at Royal Holloway.
