He has been working there in other capacities since 2012. We wish him well.
Great pic of the new dean taken in the beautiful atrium at SFCM. It was a pleasure to work with him during my brief 17 month tenure there. He is definitely the right person at the right time for a school on the move. Jonas will do a whale of a job. (or was that Jonah?)
Interesting that a third-rate School of Music (in title, leastly–what’s, really, a conservatory?) wouldn’t at the very least endeavor to hire a musician of rank caliber if not expertise into such a prominent, executive role.
From your mouth to god’s ear, sir. You seem to have less than profound knowledge of SFCM. 3rd-rate ? hardly; what really is a conservatory? it’s where rich old ladies grow flowers; perhaps a chief academic officer needs other skills beyond “a musician of rank caliber.” May I call you Scotch in the future?
Why on earth would you believe the dean should be a prominent musician? That is just bizarre. Teaching and especially administrative skills are the key requirements in such a role.
