Mahler Medal edit

Can anyone identify what organization awarded Dixon a "Mahler Medal". I can't find one that claims to have done so.

The International Gustav Mahler Society doesn't list a medal recipient for 1963. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.149.64.56 (talk) 19:34, 22 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

A website on Anton Bruckner cites a Bruckner Society of America as having given out Bruckner medals including this mention...

"James Dixon (Probably on July 5, 1962)"

The page also says they had a Mahler medal but lists no recipients.

The receipt of a "Bruckner" medal is surprising. One of my college teachers was a conducting student of James Dixon and he said Dixon detested Bruckner and that he refused to program Bruckner on his orchestra concerts.--23.119.205.88 (talk) 01:50, 12 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
