July 28, 2014

Ellen Rosand was awarded the prestigious Distinguished Achievement Award from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. In announcing the award, the Mellon Foundation underscored Rosand’s influence in the field of musicology, crediting her with opening “important new ways of understanding 17th-century music and opera. Her monumental studies of the Venetian opera have arguably reshaped the entire subject. Rosand’s scholarship combines deep investigation of the archival evidence with innovative examination of opera’s literary content and its dramatic and musical conventions and is a model of clarity and integrity.”
