As it prepares to get started with a new year, the MusicWorks program has a new leader.
Arts Place announced recently that Kathryn Fenstermacher has been selected as the new faculty chair of MusicWorks.
She takes over for Pete Vogler, the longtime faculty chair of the program, who retired from the position earlier this year. She will handle management/consultant services for MusicWorks at both the Jay County Campus of Arts Place and Blackford County Arts Center.
“Arts Place would like to thank Pete Vogler for the many years he taught music at Arts Place and served as faculty chair,” said Arts Place executive director Carolyn Carducci in a press release. “His dedication to MusicWorks and willingness to serve as an ambassador for the program was second to none.
“We have no doubt that Kathryn will be just as successful in continuing, and expanding, the program at the Blackford County Arts Center and the Jay County Campus of Arts Place. We are fortunate to have such a talented musician take a leadership role in our MusicWorks program.”
Fenstermacher has been an adjunct instructor for Arts Place and teachers harp at the Jay County Campus. An accomplished harpist, she has performed in orchestras and groups based in Indiana, Pennsylvania and Delaware. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Taylor University.
Online registration for fall MusicWorks classes will begin at 10 a.m. Tuesday at myartsplace.org. (Classes will begin Sept. 5.) Class times will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis.
