Abstract
The presentation will feature a faculty and student perspective on the role of entrepreneurship in the academy. The SQRP features a series of extended residencies by nationally recognized quartets and collaborative artists. Undergraduate and graduate university music students are eligible to participate in instrumental and vocal collaborative chamber music ensembles. Ensembles work closely with visiting artists through coachings, master classes, individual lessons, and interdisciplinary seminars.
Students particularly benefit from presentations, workshops, and consultations on entrepreneurial career building for performers. Between residencies, student ensembles study repertoire alongside the development of entrepreneurial acumen. Under the mentorship of program coordinator and chamber music instructor Elizabeth Oakes, students practice skills in collaboration, communication, leadership, networking, and creative, strategic, and integrative thinking through individual assignments, rehearsal, weekly coaching, and seminar class presentations, community engagement projects. In this joint presentation, Oakes will detail the structure of the SQRP as well as its mission to aid students in career preparation, promote professional networking, and foster individual student interests and creative projects. Recent University of Iowa graduate Dr. Megan Gray will detail her personal experiences as a participant in the SQRP. She will highlight case studies on the entrepreneurial endeavors explored through the program as well as her personal journey toward an interest in arts entrepreneurship under the mentorship of Oakes
