The Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University welcomes music
industry thought leaders Aaron Dworkin, Blair Tindall, Alex Ross, and
Peter Sellars as featured speakers in the 2016-17 Dean’s Symposium Series.
Launched last year, the Dean’s Symposium Series provides a platform for
conversation about the future of music and the issues facing
professional musicians today. All four planned events will be free and
open to the public, as well as available to view online via live stream.
“These four guests are among the most innovative, forward-thinking
artists and leaders out there,” notes Fred Bronstein, dean of the
Peabody Institute. “As practitioners and writers, to a person, they are
clear-eyed and insightful about the challenges facing our industry and
bold in their work to advance music. I’m very much looking forward to
engaging our community in these important conversations.”
The series begins on Monday, October 10, with Aaron Dworkin,
an alumnus of the Peabody Preparatory who is now the dean of the
University of Michigan’s School of Music, Theatre and Dance. He was
named a MacArthur Fellow in 2005, is a former member of the National
Arts Policy Committee, and was President Obama’s first appointment to
the National Council on the Arts. Dean Dworkin founded the Dworkin
Foundation where he serves as chairman of the board. He is also the
founder of The Sphinx Organization, a leading national arts organization
for transforming lives through the power of diversity and the arts. A
multi-media performing artist, author, social entrepreneur,
artist-citizen, and educator, he continually receives extensive national
recognition for his leadership and service to communities.
