AMS turned 35 and welcomed Hannah Fenlon as a new team member and Fellows to our family. We are also excited to announce that two additional team members will join us in January. LaSaundra Booth, Ed.D, a music educator and orchestra conductor, who was a Lynette A. Turner Pathways to Consulting Fellow, will be based in the Research Triangle in North Carolina. In addition to being a part of project consulting teams, LaSaundra will have oversight responsibility for the Fellowship program upon Lynette’s well-deserved retirement in February. Lesly Ceballos will join AMS from the American Film Institute where she has been the Alumni Affairs Coordinator for the past three years. Lesly is a graduate of the Carnegie Mellon Master of Arts Management program.

We broke new ground with the first Immersive Immersive convening in Denver where we brought performing arts leaders together with immersive creators for a first-of-its-kind gathering to explore and expand this new frontier of live experiences.
