As he prepares for his new job, Loftis talks about the opportunities at the New Jersey Symphony, his work in the Dallas arts community, and how difficult it will be to leave his hometown.I was presented with the opportunity via a search firm. Upon thorough review of the position, the history of NJS and the many achievements artistically, educationally, and community engagement I submitted my credentials for consideration.
This is a major change for me and my partner, Jon Adams; however, we are very excited all the same. I will miss my many colleagues in and out of the arts ecosystem of Dallas and countless friends. Finally, a shout out to the institution that has played a major role in my success and that is my high school - Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing & Visual Arts . I am forever blessed that my amazing mom insisted that my sister, brother and I audition and attend this incredible school. It is the cornerstone of my love, passion, and career in the arts!
