Honorees 


Dr. Elinore Barber


1969-1984 Professor of Music History and Literature

1969-1998 Director of the Riemenschneider Bach Institute

Elinore Barber came to Baldwin Wallace in 1969 from Hastings College in Nebraska, following graduate studies at the Eastman School of Music and the University of Michigan as well as private study with the Bach scholar and eminent physician Albert Schweitzer in Europe. An accomplished keyboardist, teacher, and scholar, Dr. Barber was called to BW to become the founding director of the Riemenschneider Bach Institute, building upon the Bach Library begun by Dr. Albert Riemenschneider. As editor of the journal BACH, she spread BW’s reputation for serious Bach scholarship by expanding the journal’s international membership base and welcoming visiting scholars to campus. Her dedicated stewardship of the Institute’s rare Bach holdings and diligent acquisition of other important collections from 1969 to 1998 established the foundation for a dynamic Riemenschneider Bach Institute of the 21st century.
