Sarah Lucas, a Ph.D. student in musicology, has won a U.S. Student Fulbright Award to conduct dissertation research at the Béla Bartók Archive and National Széchényi Library in Budapest, Hungary, during the 2016–2017 academic year.

Through her research, which also includes study of conductor Fritz Reiner’s conducting scores and correspondence in the United States, Sarah seeks to explore the details of the connection between composer Béla Bartók and Reiner, as well as the effects of their professional association on Bartók’s compositions and their reception in the U.S.
