HOLLIS HEADRICK APPOINTED DIRECTOR OF NEW MUSIC INSTITUTE AT CARNEGIE HALL
Carnegie Hall announced today that Hollis Headrick, founding director of the Center for Arts Education, will become the Director of the Weill Music Institute.
(Carnegie announced last week the creation of the new Center with a gift of $24.7 million from its chairman, Sanford I. Weill, and his wife, Joan.)
Mr. Headrick will assume the responsibility for all education programs at Carnegie Hall, which has announced its intention to expand its music education activities to national and international audiences.
Prior to the establishment of the Center for Arts Education in 1996, Mr. Headrick served as Director of the Arts in Education for the New York State Council on the Arts. Under his leadership the Center allocated more than $26 million in arts education grants benefiting the New York City public schools and received the Governor's Arts Award.
Mr. Headrick will assume his new position at Carnegie Hall in mid-December.
