AMIS is pleased to announce that Darcy Kuronen is the recipient of the Curt Sachs Award for 2023.

The Nicholas Bessaraboff Prize is awarded annually for the best book-length publication in English that furthers the goals of the Society. The prize committee has made two awards for 2023, for two equally distinguished, but very different, contributions to organology: Murray Campbell, Joël Gilbert, and Arnold Myers for The Science of Brass Instruments (Cham, Switzerland: Springer Nature, 2021); and Robert Adelson for Erard: A Passion for the Piano (New York: Oxford University Press, 2021).

The 2023 Frances Densmore Prize is awarded to Jennifer Kyker for "Music under the Ground: Ethnomusicological Research on the Ground-Bow in Africa," Ethnomusicology 65, no. 2 (2021).

The 2023 winner of the Selch Prize is Wesley Somers, for his paper “The Jarana as Baroque Guitar: A Neocolonial Claiming of Jarocho Instrument-Making Traditions.”
