Dena Epstein Award 

This award was created to support research in archives or libraries internationally on any aspect of American Music.

Clemens Gresser (Doctoral student, University of Southampton, England).   Award granted to study the New York School composers (Earle Browne, John Cage, Morton Feldman, and Christian Wolff) from 1950-1970 and look specifically at the performance of the music.  This research will be incorporated into his Ph.D. dissertation, American Experimental Music (1950-1970): Changing the Relationships between Composers, Performers, and the Audience. 

Robert Haskins (Doctoral student, Eastman School of Music).  Award granted to support research on the compositional processes involved in John Cage's Number Pieces.  In particular, Mr. Haskins will examine the role that pitch plays in these compositions.  Research accomplished through this grant will become part of his Ph.D. dissertation entitled An Anarchic Society of Sounds: The Number Pieces of John Cage.

Kevin Freeman Travel Grant

The grant supports travel and hotel expenses to attend the Music Library Association's annual meeting.  The applicant must be a member of the Music Library Association and either be in the first three years of his/her professional career, a graduate library school student (by the time of the conference in February 2003), aspiring to become a music librarian, or a recent graduate (within one year of degree) of a graduate program in librarianship who is seeking a professional position as a music librarian.

Alicia Hansen (Loyola University)
Michael Duffy (Northwestern University)

Gerboth Award

Awarded annually to members of MLA who are in the first five years of their professional library careers, to assist research-in-progress in music or music librarianship.

John Anderies (Music Librarian, Haverford College)

The goal of Mr. Anderies's project is to bring together music information objects (e.g., audio, score, text) in a digital library environment so that music faculty and students of the three small colleges of the Tri-Co consortium (Bryn Mawr, Haverford and Swarthmore Colleges) would have local and remote access to a core digital music repertoire.  Mr. Anderies proposes a model whereby a core music collection is identified for digitization with input from music librarians and music faculty working in a consortial academic environment.  Additionally, digital production and delivery software might be evaluated for use locally, in combination with utilizing local systems or computer programming staff, in order to digitize the content of various music formats and connect them digitally in an interface which allows for concurrent use of various music objects.
