David Metzer Elected Member of the Royal Society of Canada

AMS member David Metzer has been elected a College Member of the Royal Society of Canada’s Academy of Arts and Humanities. Congratulations, David!

“From a roar in a symphony to the rapture of a power ballad, David Metzer has explored how 20th and 21st-century music has shaped our emotional lives and our understanding of social forces and institutions. His four monographs have forged bold trails through such topics as emotions in popular music, sampling in hip hop, and musicians’ responses to incarceration. The curiosity and imagination driving his scholarship have established Dr. Metzer as a leading historian of modern music.”
