From 1995 to 2001, Mr. Prenevost was the senior officer for external affairs at the Cleveland Museum of Art, one of America's leading museums. He guided the museum's marketing and communications program increasing the museum's attendance and its national profile. Under his watch, the museum was featured in The New York Times, on CBS Sunday Morning, PBS, and ABC's Nightline. Mr. Prenevost has also supervised marketing programs for Boston's Huntington Theatre Company, the Cleveland Play House, and briefly the Cleveland Orchestra. His previous symphony experience was as the executive director of The Orchestra of Illinois formed by the musicians of Chicago's Lyric Opera in the 1980s.
Mr. Prenevost is also a playwright and author. His comedy Sparts Radio was produced by Kansas City's Just Off Broadway theatre in 2006. He has also written articles on arts marketing and management for the national trade journal ArtsReach. An alumnus of Illinois State University, Mr. Prenevost has undergraduate and graduate degrees in theatre.
"I'm thrilled about this excellent opportunity," said William Prenevost. "It's a remarkable University with an impressive faculty, supportive staff, and bright enthusiastic students. The Performing Arts Center has a special quality about it, and features a 500-seat concert hall that is an acoustical and visual gem. Our goal is to make it not only the hub of creativity and artistic training for our students, but a home for world class performers to be enjoyed by everyone."
