About the Professorship:

East Carolina University, using a major gift from former University of North Carolina President C.D. Spangler, established an endowed professorship in 1996 to bring world-class performers and teachers to the East Carolina University School of Music.

The Robert L. “Roddy” Jones Distinguished Professorship, named for the former chair of both the UNC Board of Governors and the ECU Board of Trustees, was filled for the first time in fall of 1997.  Appointments are for a one-year fixed-term at the rank of Visiting Distinguished Professor.

The Jones Professorship provides students and faculty with inspired, motivational and unique learning opportunities from musicians who possess high ideals of teaching, creative activity and leadership in music performance. It attracts nationally and internationally recognized performers from any standard performance area including keyboard instruments, voice, strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion.
