It will be a homecoming of sorts for Marion Newman when she joins the University of Victoria as a music professor this July.
“My brother and I have for years been talking about ideas that we’d like to make happen with visual arts and music,” she said. “With him literally across Ring Road, now I will be able to do that and make things come true in the university setting.” She grew up going to the Victoria Conservatory of Music and made her orchestral debut at the age of 16, playing Mozart’s Piano concerto K. 488 in A Major with the Victoria Symphony.
In a statement announcing the hire, UVic said Newman’s addition to the school of music aligns with the university’s Indigenous plan where “Indigenous ways of knowing, being and learning are embedded into the university’s programs, systems and organizational structure.”
