(Saskia) Max(well) Keller writes about classical music and queerness.
Keller’s work has appeared in The New York Times, The Nation, The Brooklyn Rail, Out, Out Traveler, The Provincetown Independent, Provincetown Arts, Parterre Box, and Early Music America.
Raised on Cape Cod, Keller holds a B.A. in music and art history from Harvard, and an M.M. in musicology from the University of Edinburgh. In the fall, they will be starting a Ph.D. in musicology at the CUNY Graduate Center.
Currently Brooklyn-based, Keller writes the substack Poison Put to Sound, and is working on a book about the cello and the trans body. Their proudest achievement, however, is getting a driver’s license at the age of 24.
