Join us for our November 6th Breakfast Meeting
Our speaker will be:
Emily Wells, Senior Assistant Dean and Managing Director of Rice University's Shepherd School of Music
"Building the Next Generation of Artists: Leadership, Innovation, and the Business of Music”
Most people experience a music school by attending performances. Few have the opportunity to see what it takes behind the scenes to recruit exceptional students and faculty, steward philanthropic investments, balance a complex business enterprise, and create an environment where artistic excellence can flourish. Drawing on her experience as Senior Assistant Dean & Managing Director of Rice University's Shepherd School of Music, Emily Wells will share what it takes to sustain one of the nation's premier music schools and why the lessons from arts leadership have relevance beyond the concert hall.
