DEAN ARTISTS COMINGS AND GOINGS

5.png

In the way these things often go, it is with a mix of emotions that we share with you, colleagues and friends, some recent news regarding the staff here at Dean Artists Management.

 We begin with the departure of Administrative Associate, Regina Chung. Having kept both the offices-in-person and offices-from-home administratively humming for over three years, Regina will wind down her time in the coming weeks, serving her last day with us on July 8th. We are so grateful for her efforts, thank her for her dedication and friendship, and are sad to see her go. But we will not weep, for we know she is off in pursuit of great things.

Regina was accepted into the Queen’s University Faculty of Law and will begin pursuit of her Juris Doctor degree this fall. We are wishing you well, Regina. May you fight the good fight!

 In the meantime, we are very excited to welcome to the team our new Administrative Associate, Morgan Reid.

 Morgan, who hails from beautiful Nova Scotia, joins our ranks having already attained a diverse set of artistic experiences and skills. A graduate in voice from both Mount Allison University and the University of Toronto, she is currently pursuing her doctorate in voice performance at the UofT. A dynamic performer and happy academic, Morgan is also a passionate arts administrator and social media consultant, and we are very excited to have her onboard.

You can find more about her HERE.

Welcome, Morgan, and CORAGGIO!

 As we seem, with fingers crossed, to be approaching the end of this global health crisis, we at Dean Artists remain enthusiastic in the support of our artists and hopeful for brighter months ahead in the arts. We look forward to sharing in them with you all.

May happy days be here again,

The Dean Team

That rarest of voices, a true bass, Matthew Treviño’s repertoire stretches from the classical idiom epitomized by Sarastro in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte to the contemporary complexities of works by Robert Patterson, Michael Nyman and Gordon Getty. Terviño has appeared with English National Opera, Vancouver Opera, St. Louis Symphony, Lyric Opera of Kansas City, Opera Leipzig, Florentine Opera, Hawaii Opera Theatre, Colorado Symphony, and at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Possessing a “mellifluous bass that is at once robust and gentle” (Opera Magazine), the Texas native’s discography includes The Canterville Ghost, The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat and Three Way. Mr. Treviño is a former member of the world renowned Merola Opera Program in San Francisco and is a graduate of Baylor University in Waco, Texas. He was a winner in the Loren L. Zachary Foundation Competition, Dallas Opera Competition, Fort Worth Opera’s McCammon Voice Competition, and the recipient of the Thomas Stewart Award for Vocal Excellence at Baylor University. The Schulich School of Music of McGill University in Montréal recently appointed Mr. Treviño to the position of Assistant Professor, Voice.
