March 17, 2010
Source: Community Partnership Update/April 2010
 Robert Spano, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Music Director, made his return to university as Emory's most recent Distinguished Artist in Residence and began his appointment this spring. Spano is co-teaching, lecturing and presenting programs on literature, philosophy, science and musicology for three weeks during each of the spring semesters of 2010 until 2012; this year's residency runs through April 18.
This residency is the latest in a series of connections between Emory, Spano and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and is made possible by funds designated to foster these kinds of significant collaborations and partnerships for the benefit of Emory students, scholars and the University as a whole.
The university-wide residency has the potential to enhance the educational experiences of Emory's 12,500 students from the Emory College of Arts and Sciences and multidisciplinary graduate programs as well as the greater community. Spano will participate in a wide-ranging interdisciplinary dialog as he co-teaches and actively participates in Emory's scholarly community through colloquia and Emory's "Creativity Conversations" series. He will also participate in several public performances, some of which are listed below:
