The deaths of opera director Miah Im and symphony orchestra conductor Larry Rachleff and the opening of the $100 million Brockman Hall spark change.

A significant part of Loden's job is anticipating vacancies and supervising the process to fill them. The Shepherd School’s relatively small size — fewer than 50 faculty members instructing just under 300 students, according to Loden — leaves it without a “deep bench of cross-training,” the dean says. Most positions are highly specialized, but Im and Rachleff led “two of our largest platforms for teaching,” Loden explains.

The committee tasked with determining Im and Rachleff’s successors purposely drew from a broad cross section of Shepherd School faculty. Members were asked to seriously consider what both the school and the professional music industry might look like as far out as 20 years in the future, with an idea of identifying the kind of talent that could make a similar impact on campus.

There, Winograde was “not only talking about sort of how to take an audition and how to present yourself at audition, but talking about the industry, talking about various productions that he's worked on,” says Loden. “The kind of immediate excitement and enthusiasm that he instilled in the students, it was fantastic to see. We're thrilled that we were able to land him.”
