Description
The American Musicological Society’s Early Music Organizational Grants support programs that build, strengthen, and sustain the research skills needed to study, teach, perform, and illuminate music and musical cultures before c. 1600. Established in summer 2025 alongside the Coalition of Music Organizations, the program aims to sustain and transmit professional expertise in early music, including historical modes of performance and transmission.
Supported programming includes paleography, codicology, organology, archival sciences, musical notation and lexicology, languages and liturgy, and the scribal and material cultures that shaped early music’s creation, evolution, and dissemination. Illustrative and historically informed performances are also supported when paired with educational content and programming.
