I am currently Professor of Arts Administration in Drexel University’s Westphal College of Media Arts and Design. My professional experience includes stints as President and CEO of the Philadelphia Orchestra, Dean of the Eastman School of Music, Executive Director and Founder of the Minnesota (now Perpich) Center for Arts Education, and Director of the Educational Center for the Arts in New Haven, Connecticut. Where my later career focused entirely on music, my earlier career involved all arts areas. Coming to Drexel has allowed me to focus again across arts disciplines, and has also given me the freedom to explore the many concerns about the vitality of the arts sector I collected over my years in the field. #
