Kristina Kolbe is Assistant Professor in Sociology of Arts and Culture at Erasmus University Rotterdam.
Based on a unique ethnographic study of a classical music organisation, The sound of difference provides a rare ‘bottom-up’ account of how inequalities manifest and persist in the arts. Put simply, it is one of the most sophisticated and nuanced critiques of the operationalisation of ‘diversity’ in the cultural sector that I have ever read. Anamik Saha, Professor of Race and Media, University of Leeds A brilliant analysis of diversity work in the classical music sector. Drawing on ethnographic and interview data, Kristina Kolbe asks what happens when the elitist space of classical music seeks to diversify itself. Do diversity discourses in classical music reproduce or challenge existing inequalities? How is it that white middle-class domination perseveres despite an increasingly prominent focus on diversity in the classical music sector? This absolutely timely book is a must-read for anybody with an interest in classical music practice. Christina Scharff, Reader in Gender, Media and Culture, King’s College London -- .
