Stephen Hinton (born 1955, London, England) is a British-American musicologist at Stanford University. A leading authority on the composer Kurt Weill,[1] he has published widely on many aspects of modern German music history, with contributions to publications such as Handwörterbuch der musikalischen Terminologie , The New Grove Dictionary of Opera, The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart, and Funkkolleg Musikgeschichte. His most recent book, Weill's Musical Theater: Stages of Reform (University of California Press: Berkeley, 2012), the first musicological study of Weill's complete stage works, received the 2013 Kurt Weill Book Prize for outstanding scholarship in music theater since 1900.[2][3][4] The reviewer for the Journal of the American Musicological Society described the book as "a landmark in the literature on twentieth-century musical theater."[5]

Hinton graduated from the University of Birmingham (UK) with a BA in Music and German in 1978, and with a PhD in Musicology in 1984.[6] He is currently the Avalon Foundation Professor in the Humanities at Stanford University, Professor of Music and, by courtesy, of German. He also serves as the Denning Family Director of the Stanford Arts Institute. From 2006–2010 he was Senior Associate Dean for Humanities & Arts, and from 1997–2004 chairman of the Department of Music.[7] Before moving to Stanford, he taught at Yale University and, before that, at the Technische Universität Berlin. At the TU Berlin he held positions as Tutor in Musicology (1982–84), research assistant to Carl Dahlhaus (1984–86), postdoctoral scholar of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (1986–88) and wissenschaftlicher Assistent (1988–90).[8]
