Musicians of The Old Post Road’s Artistic Directors Win Noah Greenberg Award

Musicians of the Old Post Road proudly announces that Artistic Directors Suzanne Stumpf and Daniel Ryan have just been chosen for the 2023 Noah Greenberg Award from the American Musicological Society. The award was presented on November 11 in Denver at the annual conference of the American Musicological Society.

Established to recognize and foster outstanding contributions to historical performance practice, the award is named after the late conductor and musicologist Noah Greenberg, who is credited with contributing to the revival of interest in early music. Stumpf’s and Ryan’s work to bring attention to the little-known and outstanding chamber music by the German composer Christoph Graupner was the impetus for this year's award.

Heavenly Baroque Christmas Performance in Gloucester

The ensemble will perform "Heavenly Baroque Christmas" at the historic Gloucester Meetinghouse on Thursday, December 7 at 7:30 pm.
