Author: Laura Leante - Laura Leante is a Research Fellow in Music at the Open University, UK. She was awarded her PhD in ethnomusicology by the University of Rome, Italy in 2004 for research on issues of meaning and cross-cultural reception of music in British Asian repertories. Her research interests range over Indian classical and folk music, music of the South Asian Diaspora, music and globalisation, and popular music. Since 2005 Laura has been involved in the Open University-based AHRC-funded research project 'Experience and Meaning in Music Performance', studying processes of meaning construction in music through the analysis of performances of Hindustani classical music. This article stems directly from that work. From October 2009 she will be working on a new AHRC-funded project focusing on 'The Reception of Performance in North Indian Classical Music'
