“The La Jolla Symphony & Chorus recently announced the appointment of Stephanie Weaver … as its next executive director,” reads an unsigned article in Monday’s (7/22) La Jolla Village News (CA). “Weaver currently serves as executive director of the Cape Conservatory in Cape Cod, MA, a position she has held since 2011. She will begin her tenure at LJS&C in late September 2019, following the retirement of LJS&C Executive Director Diane Salisbury…. In addition to being an experienced arts administrator and educator, Weaver is an accomplished pianist. She received her D.M.A. degree in piano performance from Michigan State University and her B.A. and M.A. degrees in piano performance from the University of Western Ontario. Prior to her position with the Cape Conservatory, she served a dozen years at the Ann Arbor School for the Performing Arts, first as the School’s Dean of Music and next as its president and executive director.” Steven Schick is La Jolla Symphony & Chorus’s music director, and Brian Schottlaender is board president. A press release from Cape Conservatory notes that Weaver’s initiatives there included creating digital music studios, introducing a Suzuki-inspired violin program in the arts-enriched pre-school, and forming a robust jazz music program.
