  • GBFA Co-Founder Fenwick Smith Resigns from Boston Symphony Orchestra— Accomplished Flutist to Take More Active Role in GBFA
    Fenwick Smith to resign from BSO represented by RPR / CopyWriting & Creative Services For Immediate Release 54 Beach Street ™ Woburn, MA 01801 (781) 937-0389 [email protected] GBFA co-founder Fenwick Smith resigns from Boston Symphony Orchestra— Accomplished flutist to take more active role in GBFA Woburn, MA – Thursday, December 15, 2005 — Fenwick Smith, flute: Myra and Robert Kraft chair, endowed in perpetuity in 1981. Fenwick Smith took his first flute lessons in the public schools of Medford, Massachusetts. Largely self-taught until his senior year in high school, he was encouraged by Elinor Preble and Doriot Anthony Dwyer to apply to the Eastman School of Music, where he studied with Joseph Mariano, graduating in 1972. Smith showed an early interest in things mechanical. By the age of sixteen he was working as a part-time milling machine operator for a small manufacturing firm. The following summer, Verne Q. Powell Flutes Inc., the leading American flute maker, offered him employment, which continued, mostly on a part-time, work-at-home basis, for the next twelve years. During this time he built about one hundred Powell flutes, including the instrument he has played during his entire professional career. After a summer at the Tanglewood Music Center, Smith moved to West Berlin, where he promptly became an active free-lancer, taught at Schiller College, and came under the salutary influence of James Galway. He lived in Germany for three years, with forays to Greece and to Paris, where he auditioned for the French Ministry of Cultural Affairs. In 1975, soon after Smith had made plans to return to Boston, the Ministry offered him the position of principal flute in the Regional Orchestra of Toulouse.

Historian Mimi Stillman’s curatorial vision sets the music in its broadest cultural context. Some of its artistically and intellectually powerful projects include the celebrated Mahler 100/ Schoenberg 60, Debussy in Our Midst: A Celebration of the 150th Anniversary of Claude Debussy, A Place and a Name: Remembering the Holocaust, Women Pioneers of American Music, and Música en tus Manos (Music in Your Hands), our engagement initiative with the Latino community.

  • The Awesome Marianne Gedigian Interview by Wendy Stern
    February 2010 The Awesome Marianne Gedigian Interview by Wendy Stern hrough mutual friends and colleagues, Marianne Gedigian was described to me as awesome, energetic, dynamic, creative, and fearless. TAfter interviewing her, I would add to that list: artistic, articulate, and inspiring. Our exchange took place via email in early January 2010. WENDY STERN: I suspect a few people might have been surprised at your decision to accept a faculty position in Texas after serv- ing as former acting principal flute of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Boston Pops Orchestra, and Pittsburgh Symphony. Specifically, in a time when so many aspiring flutists are vying for so few positions in major orchestras, I would love to hear your views on music careers beyond that of the orchestra. Thinking about music as an art form versus music as a job, how have these had an impact on your artistic and career-based decisions? MARIANNE GEDIGIAN: Certainly music has been my career or job, but mostly it has been a way of life. I have always taken opportunities as they come, and done my best to make the most of them. Regretting yesterday or pining for something tomorrow doesn’t make today better for me. When students are struggling to figure out how they will have a career in such a competi- tive field, I urge them to find the ways that music will fulfill them individually. For each person, this will be a different path. While there are those students who have a vision of orchestral playing, there are others that would be equally satisfied to have a private studio, a chamber music group, be involved in the area flute club, and play with a regional wind ensemble or In Concert orchestra.

A Design Thinking Approach To Leadership Development Abstract This thesis argues that a systems and design thinking approach to education can have a transformational affect on individuals and organizations. This thesis looks at the Curtis Institute of Music and how the school is challenging students to expand their thinking by involving a diverse group of stakeholders in the complete redesign of performance experience. A description of an interactive planning and idealized design project, called the Curtis Leadership Workshop, is presented. This thesis specifically provides an overview of the theory, model and applied methodology, and an account of the preparation for and first critical steps of the project. Outcomes of critical steps are presented and a number of research questions for a formal impact analysis are proposed.
