Christopher Elton named Professor Emeritus of the Royal Academy of Music, following 24 years as head of keyboard. Professor Jonathan
Freeman-Attwood, Principal of the Royal Academy of Music, has announced that
Professor Christopher Elton, FRAM, is now Professor Emeritus of the Academy. Professor Elton stepped down as head of
keyboard in July, 2011 after 24 years in the post. In a statement, the Principal said: “As
eminent teacher, ambassador, University of London professor, distinguished
juror and head of department, Christopher has made this post his own with
quite extraordinary dedication, artistic and intellectual flair, alongside a
legendarily indefatigable energy. Under his leadership, piano studies at the
Academy have become an emblem of international ambition and excellence. Professor Freeman-Atwood continued: “I am delighted that Christopher's
contribution to life at the Academy will remain significant in all the areas
I have listed above, apart from the role of head of department. I feel
exceptionally lucky that Christopher will continue with his important work as
one of the Academy's and the UK's most renowned musical pedagogues.” |
