Eric Drott (University of Texas at Austin) has been awarded the Dent Medal 2020 by the Royal Musical Association, in association with the International Musicological Society. Drott has produced an impressive body of scholarship that spans from post-war modernism to present-day streaming cultures and deftly traverses music theory, musicology, and music sociology. Uniting this work is a pervading concern with the socio-political frameworks in which music—understood in the broadest sense—is produced, used, and acquires meaning.
