American Musicological Society

THE NOAH GREENBERG AWARD




The Noah Greenberg Award was established by the Trustees of the New York Pro Musica Antiqua in memory of their founder and first director. The award is intended as a grant-in-aid to stimulate active cooperation between scholars and performersby recognizing and fostering outstanding contributions to historical performing practices.

It is named for Noah Greenberg (1919–1966), pioneer in the field of early music performance and distinguished member of the Society.
