Rob Rose is absolutely

a unique and singular
presence at Berklee.
The objective data will
state that for 51 years Rob
was a student, teacher,
chair, and vice president.
But those markers only tell
part of Rob’s amazing
Berklee story. Rob’s hands
have been in nearly every
major event at the college
as he has helped shape



curricula, designed
signature concert programs,
and led one of the
strongest summer
programs to be found in
music higher education
nationwide. To say that
Rob will be missed is such
an understatement.
