Leo received a B.A. in Music from the University of Pennsylvania in 2020. His research focuses mostly on U.S. classical music institutions (especially orchestras) and how they attempt to serve various local and national interests. He is also interested in the memory work of Jewish musics including klezmer and Sephardic song; concert listening, music education, and the boundaries of the musical “canon”; and video game music. He is a devoted oboist and an occasional conductor.
