Cantata Singers Welcomes New Executive Director, Jeffry George
George replaces former Executive Director, Lisa Stiller, who served the organization for nine years.
“I am delighted to welcome Jeffry George to the Cantata Singers as we ready for our 50th anniversary in 2013,” said Majie Zeller, Board Chair. “Cantata Singers is poised to capitalize on continued critical and audience acclaim for Music Director David Hoose’s composer-focused seasons, now in our third year. Jeffry brings not only the strong management skills to move us forward, but also a passion for music and the performing arts that speaks to the organization’s commitment to innovative programming and educational outreach. We are especially pleased that he joins us just prior to our second concert of the Heinrich Schütz season on January 15th.”
Mr. George comes to the Cantata Singers from years of non-profit management in theatrical production. Of note is his recent success as Managing Director of the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theatre in Wellfleet, MA. During his tenure at W.H.A.T. he and Artistic Director, Jeff Zinn opened the new state-of-the-art Julie Harris stage growing the company into a three venue operation offering theatrical, musical, and performance art productions.
He is looking forward to returning to his roots in music. Jeffry started training in music at an early age first as a trumpet player and then as a vocalist having studied at the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh, Interlochen and Ithaca College School of music.
“My most rewarding moments as a musician were as a member of chorus and madrigal,” said George. “It was during this time that I was introduced to the vast musical offerings that the Boston community has by touring here during my years at Ithaca.”
Previously he has held management positions at Kansas City Starlight, Kansas City, MO; Caldwell Theatre Company, Boca Raton, FL; Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater, Wellfleet, MA; and Theatre Aspen, Aspen, CO. He has been active in numerous cultural and arts organizations nationally and regionally. He has served on the Board of the Provincetown Theater Company, the Provincetown Cultural Council and was a member of the Provincetown Business Guild.
