John has served as Chair of the MusicSA Board since 2021, bringing to the role more than two decades of senior leadership experience across Australia’s performing arts sector. His tenure will be remembered and his commitment to South Australian music has been unwavering.
“It has been one of my career highlights working with Christine Schloithe, the whole MusicSA team and a very focused and passionate Board to improve the opportunities for emerging South Australian musicians and the whole music ecosystem.
The last five years as Chair has been a time of huge renewal and momentum building for MusicSA and it has been a privilege to help foster and advocate for the significant growth that we have been able to achieve.
Working closely with the Government of South Australia as our principal partner, along with many wonderful sponsors and supporters we have been able to make a real difference and I will continue to watch the journey that MusicSA is on and cheer from the far North!” said John Glenn, outgoing Chair, MusicSA Board.
“The MusicSA Board and Staff extends the warmest of congratulations to John for his new role in Darwin. John has served five years as the Chair of MusicSA and critically, has provided stability, assurance and exceptional stewardship. We wish him all the very best.
