Period instrument player is Arts Council’s new head of music
mainClaire Mera-Nelson, a former violinist with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Florilegium, the London Handel Orchestra and The Sixteen, has been named director of music (and London) at Arts Council England.
Her last job was head of music at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance and executive director of Blackheath Halls.
Congratulations Claire! Think this is an excellent appointment.
Excellent news. Congratulations Claire!
Sigh. Please, please, tell me she’s held at least one post in an organisation based outside of Greater London?
At least she is an experienced practitioner there are far too many civil servants with absolutely no arts experience working at ACE.
