Dunham to Retire as EMAg Editor
Benjamin Dunham, editor of Early Music
America magazine, will retire after the Fall
2014 issue of the magazine. Dunham was
appointed editor in 2002 and has overseen
expansion of the magazine to serve the
needs of a growing Early Music America
membership. During his tenure, the quarterly magazine increased in size by more than
a third and went from a partial to a fullcolor format throughout its pages.
Dunham oversaw the introduction of
new feature sections including a book
review section, a point-of-view feature
called "In Conclusion," interviews with leading figures in the field,
and first-person reports by ensemble directors on innovative projects in
the field of historical performance. In the past year, the magazine has
developed and introduced an accompanying on-line version of the
publication to further serve the needs of its members.
Dunham has played an active role within the early music community
and with Early Music America. He was a member of the original steering
committee formed in 1985 for EMA and served on its board of directors
frequently from 1988 until assuming the editorship of the magazine.
His career has also included chief executive positions with the American
Symphony Orchestra, Chamber Music America, and the U.S. National
Music Council.
Thomas Kelly, past-president of Early Music America and chairman
of EMA's publications committee, said, "Ben Dunham has been an
important voice in early music, and in Early Music America, for many
years now. We will miss his creative and imaginative input; we thank
him deeply, and we wish him well."
"It's been 24 years editing American Recorder and then Early Music
America from my home in Marion, Massachusetts," said Dunham, who
doubled as designer for the magazines. "I will cherish the memory of
working with so many outstanding performers and writers, and I look
forward to developing new projects in the field of music and the
performing arts."
"While we will miss Ben's leadership, we will welcome a new editor
with the Winter 2014 edition and look forward to his or her vision,"
said Ann Felter, executive director of EMA.
