Who is Edward Rothstein?

Edward Rothstein is a critic and a composer.

Rothstein holds a B.A. from Yale University, an M.A. in English literature from Columbia University, and a Ph.D. from the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago. In addition, Rothstein did graduate work in mathematics at Brandeis University.

Rothstein is currently the cultural critic-at-large for The New York Times, particularly examining the reach and depth of museums, large and small, one by one. He has worked as a music critic for The New Republic and as the chief music critic for the Times.

Rothstein is a two-time winner of the ASCAP Deems Taylor Award for music criticism, and was given a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1991.

As a composer, Rothstein supports the idea that music may be linked in a distant way to physical and mathematical ideas such as string theory. He explores this notion in his book Emblems of Mind.
