On behalf of musiConnects’ Board of Directors, I am thrilled to introduce Nancy Galluzzo as our first Executive Director. Nancy will be on board full time in May, but you can come meet her at musiConnects' Benefit Concert on April 28th.
As musiConnects deepens its commitment to modeling and teaching self-expression, peer leadership and community development, we feel tremendously fortunate to be looking ahead to our 10th season with Nancy at the helm to guide our growth.
What should you know about Nancy? She’s a West Roxbury resident who started her fascinatingly varied career path as a lawyer and served for five years as a Senior Investigator for the United States Department of Labor. After coming to the realization that she would find more personal fulfillment in the arts, Nancy embraced a new direction as the sole proprietor—and resident artist—of 3D and UP Pottery Studio in Jamaica Plain. This community-based experience helped position Nancy for her next career move: Associate Director of the Society of Arts and Crafts, where she built up her arts administration skills over seven years, including serving as Interim Executive Director.
You should also know that Nancy is no stranger to music education and performance. As a drummer—in her spare time—Nancy can be found volunteering during the summer at Girls Rock Boston or performing with her band at Bella Luna in Jamaica Plain!
As we have gotten to know Nancy a little bit over the past month, we unanimously came to the conclusion that she is going to be a wonderful fit for the entire musiConnects community—from our Resident Musicians to our young students and their families, to our supporters, partners, and audience members. Nancy is savvy, experienced, passionate, and an excellent communicator who made us feel comfortable right away when we met her. Through her new role as Executive Director, Nancy looks forward to leading an organization that “embraces the transformative power of music.”
We are grateful to Jill Carrier for helping to ease Nancy’s transition into her new role in the weeks leading into May. Please join us in welcoming Nancy to the musiConnects family!
