The Mozart Society of America invites nominations for the Marjorie Weston Emerson Award, a $500 prize given annually for outstanding scholarly work on Mozart published in English during the two previous calendar years. The Award will be given in alternate years to books and editions, and to essays and articles. The 2011 Award will be for the best book or edition published in 2009 or 2010.
The selection will be made by a committee of Mozart scholars appointed by the President of the MSA, with approval from the Board of Directors.
Nominations must be submitted by 1 August 2011 and should be sent, via mail or e-mail to:
Kristi Brown Montesano, The Colburn School, 200 South Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90012; kbrown@colburnschool.edu
The award will be presented at the Society’s annual business meeting in the fall of 2011 and announced in the Society’s Newsletter the following January.
The Society reserves the right not to award the prize in a given year.
