The American School of Classical Studies at Athens is pleased to announce the new Schwarz Fellowship for Research on Music for study at the Gennadius Library. The Schwarz Fellowship for Research on Music supports research on music that focuses on cultural interactions in the Mediterranean world broadly defined. The fellowship aims to promote the study of interactions among Western European, Byzantine, Islamic and Jewish cultures from the medieval to the modern period.

The fellowship is intended for career musicians, or researchers who are either currently PhD candidates or have received their PhD within the last 5 years working on topics concerned with musical composition, music conducting, history of music, musicology, and related fields. Fellows will be expected to conduct a program of original research on a theme related to the collections of the Gennadius Library.

The award includes a stipend plus room, board, and waiver of School fees. Fellows are expected to be in residence at the School for the full academic year from early September to late May. Fellows are expected to participate in the academic life of the School.
