Sabine Feisst is Evelyn Smith Professor of Musicology (School of Music), Senior Sustainability Scholar (Global Institute of Sustainability), and Faculty Honors Advisor (Barrett The Honors College) at Arizona State University. She holds a Ph.D. in Musicology from the Free University of Berlin and served on the faculty of Bard College and the University of Notre Dame before joining ASU. Her research interests focus on the music of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, ecocriticism, acoustic ecology, migration studies, and improvisation.
Feisst’s publications include the books Schoenberg’s Correspondence with American Composers (Oxford UP 2018), Schoenberg’s New World: The American Years (Oxford UP 2011) and Der Begriff “Improvisation” in der neuen Musik (Studio Verlag 1997). Schoenberg’s Correspondence with American Composers was considered a “major contribution to Schoenberg scholarship” and Schoenberg’s New World won the prestigious Irving Lowens Book Award of the Society for American Music and was called “a pioneering work of revisionist scholarship.” Her volume on improvisation was praised as “an invaluable addition to the music history literature on experimental music.” She also published Schoenberg’s Early Correspondence, co-edited and translated into English with Ethan Haimo (Oxford UP 2016). She is currently editing the nine-volume set Schoenberg in Words with Severine Neff for Oxford University Press. Feisst authored over 50 articles and book chapters in such journals as Archiv für Musikwissenschaft, The Musical Quarterly, and the Journal of the Arnold Schönberg Center. She contributed forty encyclopedia entries to The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians II, The New Grove Dictionary of American Music II, and Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart, among other reference works.
Feisst is currently preparing a monograph on music inspired by deserts in the American Southwest and editing the Oxford Handbook of Ecomusicology. With Garth Paine, she is co-directing ASU’s Acoustic Ecology Lab http://acousticecologylab.org/ which features such research streams as EcoRift, EcoSonics, Sound Walks and the large-scale Listen(n) Project combining artistic and scientific research, innovative technology, community workshops, and socially embedded art activities. https://azpbs.org/catalyst/2019/02/catalyst-acoustic-ecology-lab/
Through the Acoustic Ecology Lab, she collaborates with researchers from other disciplines at ASU (Architecture, Arts Media and Engineering, College of Health Solutions, Global Institute of Sustainability, School of Life Sciences and School of Social Transformation) and at universities in Austria, Denmark and Germany.
Feisst has presented her research in the United States, in Canada, Europe, Asia and Australia at conferences of such organizations as the International Musicological Society, American Musicological Society, Society for American Music, and the Gesellschaft für Musikforschung. She has served as keynote speaker and been invited to speak at symposia, university seminars and music festivals.
Feisst has been awarded research fellowships, grants and publication subventions from the American Musicological Society, Avenir Foundation, National Endowment for the Humanities, The Mannes Institute for Advanced Studies in Music Theory, and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. In 2014 she was chosen as one of five ASU professors to receive the Defining Edge Research Award in the Humanities and Literature.
In 2019 she was awarded the School of Music’s Evelyn Smith Professorship to
conduct research in ecomusicology and to develop new community-engagement based classes on music in the Southwestern desert and borderlands.
Her ASU course topics include music and sustainability, experimental music, improvisation, music and the visual arts, music and film, German modernism, migration studies, Baroque music and performance practice. A nominee for several teaching awards, including the ASU Parents Association Professor of the Year award, her graduate students have presented their research at national and international conferences.
She is the U.S. editor of the Contemporary Music Review and on the editorial board of the Ecomusicology Review. She was a fellowship referee for the NEH and regularly reviews manuscripts for academic presses and journals.
