Rutter, 68, has spent her career up to Kennedy managing major orchestras. She starts work in September.
“Deborah Rutter is one of the nation’s most accomplished arts leaders,” Provost Alec Gallimore said. “Throughout her career, Deborah has set the standard for connecting art and culture to diverse audiences and communities, through innovative programming and by ensuring operational excellence in the organizations she has led.
“Her expertise and vision will lift the arts to a new level of impact at Duke as a central part of our educational mission ‘to engage the mind and elevate the spirit’ and a means to forge partnerships with our surrounding community. I am thrilled that Deborah will lead the future of the arts at Duke.”
