Composer Rodgers chosen to lead British Academy.
Sarah Rodgers is appointed chairman of the British Academy as David Ferguson steps down
By Robert Ashton
The British Academy has a new chairman following David Ferguson's decision to step down because of ill heath. The Academy board met last week to elect Sarah Rodgers to take over his role.
Ferguson, who is battling cancer, will also be giving up his seats on the Boards of MCPS and PRS and as spokesman for the European Composer and Songwriter Alliance (ECSA).
Ferguson, who has served six years as chairman of the composer and songwriter organisation, says that he is most proud of establishing Academy Recordings - an outlet for members to record and release material - which he launched last year.
"The difficulty with running the Academy is finding a balance between defending what things used to be like and doing something new and moving forward," says Ferguson, who is currently working with his son on a new Random Hold album, which he will release through Academy Recordings.
"I think at the end of this run Academy composers are better represented in a challenging environment. The organisation is in good shape all told and I am optimistic for it."
