Amy Beal's research focuses on American experimental and avant-garde music of the
20th century, particularly during the post-World War II era in West Germany. She
won the 2001 American Musicological Society's Alfred Einstein Award, which was established
34 years ago to honor an article of exceptional merit by a scholar in the early stages
of his or her career. Beal's award-winning article, "Negotiating Cultural Allies:
American Music in Darmstadt, 1946-1956" (published in the Journal of the
American Musicological Society), is the first on American music to receive the
Einstein Award.
Prior to her appointment at UCSC, Beal was an assistant professor of music at Bates
College. She received her bachelor's and master's of music in piano performance from
the University of Kansas and her M.A. and Ph.D. in musicology from the University
of Michigan.
