Julia Haferkorn joined Middlesex University in 2014, after having worked in the music industry for 20 years.
Initially at publishing company Peters Edition, she promoted the music of John Cage, Rebecca Saunders, and Brian Ferneyhough. Julia founded the artist management company Haferkorn Associates Ltd (1998-2014) and co-founded the production company Third Ear Music Ltd (2010-date).
She has worked with a range of new music artists, including Apartment House, Matthew Herbert, Lore Lixenberg, the Arditti Quartet, and Icebreaker, and has set up concerts and tours all over Britain and world-wide.
Other posts include Artistic Director of the British Composer Awards (2014-16) and Artistic Director of the Chinese New Year celebrations on Trafalgar Square (2015-19).
In 2020/2021 she is Principal Investigator of a research project into the monetisation of livestreamed musical performances. The research is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, as part of UK Research and Innovation's rapid response to Covid-19. The aim of the project is to enable musicians to use monetised live streams as an additional income source, to make up for loss of earnings during and following on from COVID-19 related lockdowns and restrictions. Further information can be found on the project website www.livestreamingmusic.uk
The Classical Music Industry, a collection of chapters written by scholars and industry professionals, edited by Julia and her Middlesex University colleague Chris Dromey, was published by Routledge in 2018.
Julia is the Programme Leader of the MA Classical Music Business and also teaches on the BA Music Business and Arts Management.
