Chris Walton studied at the universities of Cambridge, Oxford,
Zurich and Munich. He was head of the Music Department of the
Zentralbibliothek
Zürich for ten years before being appointed chair of music at the
University of Pretoria. He moved back to Switzerland in 2008 and
lives today in
Solothurn. He is an Honorary Professor at Africa Open Institute
(Stellenbosch University) and runs two research projects at the
Bern University of the Arts for the Swiss National Science
Foundation. He has published widely on Austro-German and Swiss
music.
Professor Walton, himself a most engaging writer, beautifully
evokes the provincial musical life, rural culture and landscapes of
the German-speaking part of Switzerland in the first half of the
20th century.
