John has stimulated collaborations with local area artists such as the Red Clay Ramblers, Indigo Girls, New Birth Missionary Baptist Church Choir and the Michael O’Neal Singers, as well as eminent artists from around the world. He is committed to building a distinctive profile for the Company with the highest standards, and to providing access to education that is unparalleled.
