Description
Early Music Organizational Grants, offered by the American Musicological Society, provide funding to support organizational programming focused on the study, teaching, and performance of music created before 1600. These grants are intended to help organizations build, strengthen, and sustain research skills in areas such as paleography, codicology, organology, archival sciences, musical notation, lexicology, languages, liturgy, and the material cultures that shaped early music. The program also supports historically-informed performances when paired with substantive educational content. The overarching goal is to sustain and transmit professional expertise in early music scholarship and performance.
