Tamara Levitz’s* "Modernist Mysteries: Perséphone," published in September
by Oxford University Press, was selected earlier this month as the best
book in music and performing arts in 2012 by the American Publishers Awards
for Professional and Scholarly Excellence (PROSE).

The book<http://newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/star-crossed-unearthing-the-story-243522.aspx>relays
the history of Igor Stravinsky’s 1934 star-crossed ballet
"Perséphone," which played just three nights at the Paris Opéra before
closing to negative reviews.

Given across more than 40 categories, the PROSE awards recognize "the very
best in professional and scholarly publishing," according to its website.
This year’s competition attracted 518 entries of books, reference works,
journals and electronic products. Entries were judged by publishers,
librarians and scholars.

"Her work has been singled out as the best of a very large group of books
nominated by publishers at all levels, from many studies on a wide variety
of music and performance topics by authors from a number of different
disciplines," said Robert Fink, the chair of the Musicology Department. "It
is a signal honor."

As one of the world’s preeminent Stravinsky authorities, Levitz spent a
decade unearthing the history of the ballet that brought together a virtual
dream team of collaborators: writer André Gide, Stravinsky, dancer Ida
Rubinstein, director Jacques Copeau and German expressionist choreographer
Kurt Jooss. By the end of the production, the collaborators were at odds
with one another, largely the result of a tug of war between the first
glimmerings of a gay rights movement and the rise of a religious right.

Due to her reputation in Stravinsky circles, Levitz has been invited to
serve as the scholar in residence for "Stravinsky and His World," a
two-week festival in August at Bard College in New York’s Hudson River
Valley. The festival will include a revival of "Perséphone."
