Nancy Rachel November FRSNZ is a New Zealand academic, and is professor of musicology at the University of Auckland, specialising in late 18th- and 19th-century chamber music.

Academic career

After a BSc in mathematics in 1994 and a Bachelor of Music with honours in musicology a year later, both from Victoria University of Wellington, November travelled to Cornell University to complete an MA in 1999 and a 2003 PhD titled Haydn's vocality and the ideal of “true” string quartets.[1][2] November studied baroque violin with Peter Walls and received instruction from the New Zealand String Quartet. November moved to the University of Auckland, rising to full professor in 2022.[1]

November is interested in the socio-cultural context of historical music. In 2020 November was awarded a Marsden grant to investigate the lives of 19th century amateur women musicians, playing scaled-down versions of orchestral pieces in the home.[3] She has also published on cross-disciplinary history pedagogy.[1]

November has been a Humboldt Fellow,[4] and in 2020 was awarded a Humboldt Alumni Award for Innovative Networking Initiatives, for a project aimed at "advanc[ing] music history research from Australasian and East Asian perspectives and link[ing] it with German approaches with the aim of developing a cross-cultural musicology".[5] In 2022 she became vice president of the New Zealand Association of von Humboldt Fellows.[6] Also in 2022, she was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand.[7]
