The Conservatory of Music is proud to announce that renowned Latin/Jazz pianist/bandleader Arturo O’Farrill has officially joined our faculty as the director of jazz ensembles, a position he has held until now on an interim basis following the departure of his predecessor, Salim Washington. O’Farrill has already infused our jazz ensembles with an enthusiasm and excitement that portends great things to come now that he has been given the permanent position. Chair Bruce MacIntyre made the announcement following an intensive nationwide search that produced a number of stellar candidates competing for the post:
“I am very happy to confirm now (at last!) that the work of our Jazz Search Committee has indeed been completed. I am thrilled to announce that Arturo O’Farrill has accepted the position of assistant professor in our department. Please help me thank all our colleagues in the Search Committee (Ray Allen, David Grubbs, Marianne Gythfeldt and Ursula Oppens) who joined me in the enlightening and thought-provoking process of reviewing, interviewing and observing the candidates. Arturo, we all look forward with great pleasure to having you join our official ranks and help us reinvigorate what we do here!”
