Tina Frühauf Receives Ruth A. Solie Award from AMS

Tina Frühauf, along with her co-editor Lily E. Hirsch, won the American Musicological Society's Ruth A. Solie award this year for their edited volume, Dislocated Memories: Jews, Music, and Postwar German Culture (Oxford University Press, 2014). Solie Committee Chair Professor Colleen Reardon (UC Irvine) described the volume at the award presentation:

"The Solie award winner this year tackles themes of transnationalism, displacement, and memory by examining the fascinating and often problematic relationship  between Jewish music and German culture in the shadow of the Holocaust. An introduction that leads naturally into a survey of postwar writings on Jewish music, and an illuminating postscript on the “represence” of Jewish music in Germany frame a collection of essays that elegantly mirror the theme of the volume by traveling backwards and forwards in time, by exploring music in the camps and outside its borders, and by tackling such difficult topics as the discourse of avoidance and narratives of survival."

At Columbia, Dr. Frühauf teaches Jewish Music of New York (MUSI V2030) and Masterpieces of Western Music (Music Humanities).
