Prof. Patrick Zuk

Professor of Russian Cultural Studies and Music
Durham University

Patrick Zuk is Professor of Russian cultural studies and music at Durham University and Director (Arts and Humanities) of Durham’s Institute of Advanced Study. His publications include the monograph, Nikolay Myaskovsky: A Composer and His Times (Boydell, 2021), which has been acclaimed as ‘standing alongside the finest books on Russian music’ (Gramophone) and setting ‘a benchmark against which any future archival work [in the field] will be measured’ (Music and Letters). His research has been funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council of Great Britain, the British Academy, the Wellcome Trust, and most recently, the Leverhulme Trust, which awarded him a two-year research fellowship in 2024-26 to support a project entitled ‘The composer in the European imagination: 1830-1970’. In 2024, Zuk received an honorary doctorate from the National University of Music, Bucharest in recognition of his contribution to scholarship on Slavonic and Eastern European music.
