Course Information
As a young man, Richard Maloney thought that trying to achieve a balance between the three "A's"—arts, athletics, and academics—would be a good idea. After a time, it was too late to stop.
Dr. Maloney studied renaissance and baroque lute with Douglas Freundlich at the Longy School of Music. He has performed with the Harvard University Baroque Chamber Orchestra, Boston University Opera Institute, Revels, Renaissonics, and Cappella Clausura. He also plays the lavta and performs early Greek music with bass/baritone Panayotis Terzakis. The Boston Globe has called him "an excellent scholar, artist, and gentleman all at once." As an arts administrator, he has worked for the Boston Early Music Festival, New England Conservatory and served as General Manager of the Boston Camerata.
Dr. Maloney holds a B.A. in History (Bates College), a B.M. in Professional Music (Berklee College of Music), a Graduate Diploma in Early Music (Longy School of Music), a M.S. in Arts Administration (Boston University), and a PhD in Law, Policy, and Society (Northeastern University). His dissertation examined the policy process and impact of cultural economic development initiatives in three mid-sized Massachusetts municipalities. During his doctoral work, Maloney served as a Research Associate at the Center for Urban and Regional Policy at Northeastern University.

In a 1963 speech at Amherst College, John F. Kennedy said:
"I see little of more importance to the future of our country and our civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him. Art is not a form of propaganda, it is a form of truth and establishes the basic human truths which must serve as the touchstones of our judgment."
