All aspects of arts management were tasked while developing and directing a staff and sub-contractors to implement the mission of the organization. I worked with the board of directors and staff to ensure that Chamber Music Albuquerque (CMA) achieved a visible and responsible position in central New Mexico within the arts community. I brought in new funds from local foundations, businesses and arts agencies and assisted with direct mail fund drives, an endowment enhancement drive and special events including a series of audience development programs in private homes to enhance awareness for and appreciation of chamber music. I collaborated with other presenting organizations (including New Music Santa Fe and the Lensic Theater) and Outpost Productions in Albuquerque to block-book prominent ensembles for tours in New Mexico. I oversaw the transformation of an organization from an all volunteer one to a fully professional operation aimed at serving the people of central New Mexico. <\/p>\n<p>Founding Executive and Artistic Director, the Rel\u00e2che Ensemble<br \/>\nDuring the twenty three years I served as founding executive and artistic director of the Rel\u00e2che Ensemble it premiered over 400 new works including 200 commissioned specifically for the ensemble from composers stylistically diverse as Philip Glass, Lois V Vierk, John Cage, Arturo Marquez, Fred Ho, Guy Klucevsek, Claudio Triputti, Mary Ellen Childs, Michael Nyman, and George Russell. These works were performed in Philadelphia and New York City and on tour in venues throughout the United States, Europe, South America, and the Far East. Many of these works have entered the repertoire of ensembles worldwide and been recorded by a variety of groups. Often, I arranged residencies and lectures as part of these performances, produced recordings for National Public Radio, the Canadian Broadcasting System, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and a number of European radio and television networks. I have produced five compact disc recordings for the Rel\u00e2che Ensemble and numerous radio programs that were broadcast in Philadelphia and two nationally syndicated radio programs with support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. With a dedicated staff I created numerous educational-outreach programs to embrace the multi-ethnic population of Philadelphia and surrounding areas. Among the programs created were:<\/p>\n<p>    \u2022 The Latin American Composers Project &#8211; a series of residencies, lectures and demonstrations in partnership with the Association of Latin American Musicians (AMLA). Bi-lingual composers (Spanish and English) created new works while in residence in Spanish-speaking Latino neighborhoods of Philadelphia.<br \/>\n    \u2022 The Asian-American Youth Project \u2013 a series of outreach activities in partnership with Asian-American youth groups in Philadelphia with the eminent Chinese-American composer, performer, writer and lecturer, the late Fred Ho and the equally eminent Cambodian-American composer Chinary Ung.<br \/>\n    \u2022 The Emerging Composer \u2013 a series of short residencies, lectures, demonstrations and performances featuring new works by emerging composers, many having achieved prominence in the field of contemporary music; the most celebrated perhaps is Aaron Kernis, winner of the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for music.<br \/>\n    \u2022 New Music In The Schools \u2013 demonstrations and presentations of new musical works in secondary schools throughout the Delaware Valley (Philadelphia and southeastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey and Delaware) revealing the variety of musical styles from throughout the world and their impact on the development of a unique \u201cAmerican musical form.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Founding Executive Director for Music In Motion<br \/>\nDeveloped in partnership with Atlantic Center for the Arts, a prominent artists\u2019 residency facility located in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, and funded through a consortium of three foundations comprised of the Pew Charitable Trusts, Rockefeller Foundation and  Wallace Funds, Music In Motion (MIM) was an expansive national program designed to further develop audiences for contemporary music through an elaborate network of performing ensembles, producing-presenting organizations, university arts programs and a variety of community arts agencies. With partners in five U.S. cities and connections to Mexico City, Caracas, Venezuela, Buenos Aires, Argentina and San Juan, Puerto Rico, MIM resulted in the development of 34 new works created for and performed by five leading U.S. ensembles. Each of the works was created in the context of a variety of public outreach activities, with the intent to \u201c\u2026demystify the creative process by sharing the musical development with audiences as the works were being made.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>In order to realize this goal, I worked closely with each \u201chost site\u201d to create a network of outreach partners. Among the partnering host-sites were the Cornish College of the Arts, The University of Washington, The Henry Art Gallery, Jack Straw Foundation and Garfield High School in Seattle; Walker Art Center and The University of Minnesota in Minneapolis; The University of the Arts, Temple University School of Music and The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia; Orlando Museum of Art and Rollins College in Orlando, Arizona State University West in Phoenix, ASU Main Campus (The Gammage Center) in Tempe, and Pima County Community College in Tucson. Aligned with these large institutions were numerous community social and educational organizations that participated fully in the residency activities and were integral partners throughout the process. The success of MIM allowed us to slightly alter the program to embrace new technologies. The result was Music In Motion-The Virtualconcert.<\/p>\n<p>The final two years of MIM were dedicated to creating artistic content on the evolving Internet. The same models developed during the first three-year phase of MIM were applied to create a \u201cvirtual community\u201d that would share in the creative process both in virtual and \u201creal time\u201d contexts. This resulted in four very different works, each created for performing musicians and using different software applications to develop interactive web sites using MIDI, Shockwave, Beatnik and RealAudio sound files. <\/p>\n<p>Producing Director, New Music America \u2013 Philadelphia 1987<br \/>\nBetween 1979 and 1991 the New Music America festivals were among the largest presentations of new works in North America. Produced in a different city each year, the festivals were an ambitious attempt to broaden audiences\u2019 awareness for music by living composers. In addition to performances by prominent artists there were sonic installations, inter-media works, seminars, lectures, recordings and the production of a variety of texts from brochures to artists\u2019 statements, all celebrating the unique American \u201cexperimental\u201d spirit. Throughout this time, I served on the board of directors for the New Music Alliance, the organization that provided oversight to each NMA festival that was held in the U.S. and Canada. <\/p>\n<p>New Music America 1987 \u2013 Philadelphia featured over 200 composers and performers from America, Canada, Europe, South America and Japan, six sonic installations located throughout Philadelphia, a lecture series titled \u201cTalking Music,\u201d publications and a radio series co-produced with WNYC in New York and broadcast nationally over NPR. I facilitated numerous partnerships with organizations in Philadelphia. Producing-presenting partnerships included, among others, the Province of Quebec, Canada, Division of Culture, Association of Latin American Musicians (AMLA), American Music Theatre Festival, Franklin Institute Science Museum, Institute for Contemporary Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art and Temple University School of Music. The two-week festival left a sonic trace on Philadelphia that survived well into the mid 1990\u2019s. Immediately following the festival I began presenting a series of new and world music and dance events in the Annenberg Center at the University of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>Co-Director, New Music At Annenberg<br \/>\nThe series expanded the audience base for one of Philadelphia\u2019s most prestigious performing arts centers by presenting world music and dance, \u201cnew\u201d music and jazz artists from throughout the world. Among those presented over a six-year span were the Philip Glass Ensemble, Steve Reich and Musicians, The World Saxophone Quartet, The Art Ensemble of Chicago, Diamanda Galas, Ali Akbar Kahn, Nusrat Fatah Ali Kahn, George Russell and the Living Time Orchestra, Festival Indonesia and the Bulgarian Women\u2019s Choir. In partnership with the executive director of the Annenberg Center, I managed all aspects of the series, assisted in raising funds for the series and worked closely with the staff and volunteers at the center. <\/p>\n<p>Created Virtual Montana \u2013 A Learning Community<br \/>\nWas a project to \u201cexpand and enrich the cultural opportunities available to children and adults in rural Montana\u201d by integrating communication and information technologies into a broad arts and education program. <\/p>\n<p>Taught at the University of New Orleans\u2019 Arts Administration Program<br \/>\nDeveloped courses designed to integrate the practical aspects of programming, marketing, promotion and fundraising with an historical overview of the performing arts in America.
