Joanie is coming to town!

This picture was taken at the beginning of the Fellowship year on a hike in Aspen. Pictured from left to right are Joanie, Edgar, Hilary (League program director), Kevin and myself.

Joan Gordon, the Dean of Student Services at the Aspen Music Festival & School and all around hip lady has been traveling around the States all October recruiting students for next summer’s festivities in Aspen. Today, her travels take her to my neck of the woods in LA where she will spend time at the Colburn School of Performing Arts, the USC Thornton School of Music and the Los Angeles Performing and Visual Arts College Fair.

This past summer was Joanie’s second year as the AMFS Dean. Prior to that she had worked as the Assistant Dean, a position now held by the suave Brad Blunt, also a hip guy. We will be meeting up in the evening for a little dinner and catch up. Joining us will be Gloria Kim (’03 Fellow and Manager of the Annual Fund at the LA Philharmonic).

Should be a good time!
