Leeds College Of Music appoints new Principal
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 17 July 2014
The Leeds College Of Music has announced its new Principal and Managing Director as Gerry Godley. Currently Director of the Improvised Music Company, he will take up his new role on 22 Sep, replacing Philip Meaden.
Chair of the conservatoire’s board of directors, Libby Raper, said: “We are very much looking forward to working with Gerry and we are confident he is the right person to take Leeds College Of Music forward. He will join our hugely capable executive team, bringing complementary skills and experience, which will ensure the conservatoire continues to deliver an innovative, relevant and excellent educational experience for our students”.
Godley himself added: “It’s a great honour to be appointed to this significant role at Leeds College Of Music. While I’ve worked with artists in many genres and at many stages of their life in music, my focus over the last decade has been at the early stages of career development, and it’s given me valuable insight into the challenges and opportunities for musicians and educators throughout Europe. As it marks fifty years, I’m looking forward to playing my part in the next stage of the conservatoire’s journey, and embracing life in one of the UK’s academic and cultural hubs”.
