Elizabeth Shribman ’10 ~ International Tour Management, Czech Philharmonic
[more]Julia MacAllister ’08 ~ Foundation Relations, Carnegie Hall As a music major at Dartmouth, I learned both content and skills that are essential for my career as a fine arts administrator. In addition to an excellent foundation in musical practice, courses in advanced theory, composition, music history, and orchestration helped me to develop strong creative, analytic, writing, and research skills that I employ daily as a grant writer at a major presenting organization.
[more]Brent Reidy ’05 ~ Consultant, AEA Consulting, Beacon, NY The music major taught me to be curious and rigorous. I now work in the arts professionally, but even when I did not, the education I received was tremendously useful — not for knowing when Beethoven wrote the 9 th or what a sonata rondo form is, but for knowing how to assault complicated problems in imaginative and effective ways.
[more]Oliver Caplan ’04 ~ Composer An intimate six-person seminar with Professor Steve Swayne my freshman year was one of those quintessential Dartmouth experiences I will remember for the rest of my life. A half dozen more music classes "just for fun" began to form the backbone of a major, and I saw my calling. In the Dartmouth Music Department, I learned to understand artists as philosophers and to engage with music as something deeply human that touches a part of us where words cannot always reach. Now I am a professional classical music composer living in Boston.
