She has received a self-defined BFA in Performing Arts Management at Carnegie Mellon University. She has worked in the marketing and programming departments at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, attended the SAVVY Summer Arts Venture Challenge in Columbia, SC, and is currently volunteering as the committee chair for the CMU Beaux Arts Ball.
André Solomon
André Solomon
André Solomon originates from Methuen Massachusetts, a small suburban town north of Boston. For his studies, André holds a Bachelors of Arts with a concentration of Flute from Syracuse University and a Masters degree in Arts Management with a concentration in Community Engagement at Carnegie Mellon University. With both degrees, André hopes to enforce social justice for the arts; a belief that the arts are not frivolous but a necessary component of human development. As a minority in the Arts world, both as an artist and arts manager, André also wants to provide a chance for people of color to visualize representation; therefore, ownership to actualize their dreams.
Besides work, you can catch André performing in ensembles, dancing and working hard at the gym.
