See story, page 5. The Universiry of Oregon is an equal opportunity, aflrmative action institution The Dean's Desk Gary Martin, Acting Dean As many of you already know, Bemard Dobroski has left the University of Oregon to assume the Deanship of the School of Music at Northwestern University. We are saddened by his departure because he has provided stimulating and energetic leadership for our faculty and students during the past four years. We send him our best wishes for success and happiness in his new position at Northwestern. During Dr. Dobroski's tenure here he bas constantly promoted growth and change. For example, we have seen the appointment of ten faculty and five staff members. These new colleagues bring substantial talent and expertise to the university, strengthening an already excellent music program, and expanding our capabilities in several areas. The most recent additions to the faculty are two individuals who will join us this fall: Professors Joseph Genualdi (violin) and Robert Kyr (composition and theory). These outstanding colleagues will make contributions of the highest order to the musical life of the university. Dr. Dobroski's contributions also include substantial increases in the number of graduate teaching fellowships we are able to offer, and significant outlays for equipment. The new Lab for Technology in Music Instruction is probably the most visible example, but a wide variety of outdated instruments and equipment have been replaced as well. There have also been curricular revisions in many areas, revitalizing and updating the offerings of the school. In addition to the large number of events already available to the public schools and the general public, he inaugurated our burgeoning Jazz Celebration, a very popular Children's Concert Series, and a Grand Piano Series. These examples illustrate Dean Dobroski's tireless drive for excellence, excitement, industry, and innovation. Several years ago he said, "The School of Music at the University of Oregon is a very special place. Many people in Oregon don't realize that the school enjoys--and deserves--a trnly outstanding national reputation." Dean Dohroski has not only done much to enhance that reputation, but has dramati- cally increased the visibility of the music school to the university, our alumni and friends, and the community. The School of Music is a dynamic, healthy institution, and this year promises to be one of continuing achievement. Our curricular offerings are of very high quality and, equally important, of increasing diversity. Our students excel in numerous ways, earning awards and accolades from many sources. Our ensembles represent the highest perforn- ance standards, and provide our students with a wide spectrum of performance opportunities. And our faculty continue to distinguish themselves as performers, scholars, and teachers. I look forward to the coming year with a great deal of excitement, eager to help guide the School of Music through its next phase of growth and development. Dobroski to Become Dean at Northwestern Gary Martin named UO Acting Dean B ernard Dohroski, who has been since 1986, was named dean of the School of Music at Northwestern University on March 29. Dohroski will fill the position held for nearly two decades by Thomas W. Miller, who resigned last August to return to teaching. "Bernie Dohroski's professional experience as a solo and chamber performer, as an academician, and as an administrator make him particularly well- suited for this assignment," said North- western President Arnold Weher. Dohroski was a member of the Northwestern music faculty for 11 years and was associate dean for administration and director of undergraduate studies there prior to his appointment as dean of the UO School of Music. - away gifs presented by facu& and staff "It was really a choice between two loves," said Dobroski. "I came to the University of Oregon from Northwestern and I fell in love with this area. It's been a very difficult decision for me to make." UO President Myles Brand noted that "it's not surprising that institutions of Northwestem University's caliber would look to us to fill their leadership needs. Bemie has been a superb dean who has strengthened our music school and has enriched our university and community.' UO vice president Norman Wessells added, "Northwestern recognizes what w all know-Bernie is truly an extraordina academic leader, a galvanizing force for music at the University of Oregon, in Eugene, and in Oregon. He has been a vigorous fund raiser for the University of Oregon and has recruited outstanding faculty and students." The impact of Dohroski's four-year tenure has not been limited to the music school. The Register-Guard, in an editorial following the announcement of Dohroski's resignation, said in part, "Dohroski has had an enormous impact o music education at the university, and his influence on the cultural life of Oregon has been exceptional. Whether as cheerleader, participant, educator or patron, he has indefatigably championed the arts." Associate Dean Gary Martin has been named acting dean while a committee :onducts a national search for Dohroski's replacement. Martin joined the UO musis faculty in 1966 as a professor of music :ducation. He has chaired the departmen 3f music education and is currently sraduate coordinator. Edward Kammerer, associate profess0 md undergraduate coordimator of the nusic school, has accepted a one-year ippointment as associate dean. Distinguished Faculty to Join UO Music School The School of Music has added two outstanding scholar-educators to its faculty roster beginning this fall: Joseph Genualdi, professor of violin at California State University, Northridge; and Robert Kyr, who for the past year has been a visiting assistant professor of composition and theory at UCLA. Genualdi, the son of professional musicians, attended college at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, studying violin with Ivan Galamian and Jascha Brodsky, harmony and counter- point with Rohert Levin, and chamber music with Felix Galimir and Mischa Schneider. Following his graduation from Curtis, Genualdi was invited to participate at the Marlhoro Music Festival, and has since been associated with Music from Marl- boro and the Marlhoro Recording Society. He has been principal second violin with the Kansas City Philharmonic, Associate Concertmaster of the San Francisco Symphony, and Concertmaster of the New York City Opera National Tour. In 1979, Genualdi and three colleagues formed the Muir String Quartet, performing hundreds of concerts throughout North America and Europe. In 1985 he joined the Los Angeles Piano 2uartet, with whom he is currently :oncertizing, and helped found the lhicago Chamber Musicians in 1986. >enualdi has appeared frequently as a ioloist with such orchestras as the San ?ancisco and Oakland Symphonies, and ]as presented recitals in New York, Zhicago, Los Angeles, Kansas City and Wendy Ray talks to Dean Kramer and Ty Young during the annual Bach Birthday Bash, broadcast live from Beall Hall.
