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."

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.

Mr. Maloney studied renaissance and baroque lute with Douglas Freundlich at the Longy School of Music where he earned a Graduate Diploma in Early Music Performance in 1998. He has performed with the Harvard University Baroque Chamber Orchestra, Boston University Opera Institute, Revels, Renaissonics, and Mille Corde, an ensemble he co-founded. The Boston Globe called him “an excellent scholar, artist, and gentleman all at once.” He is currently exploring the lute song and solo literature of renaissance England with BU Musicology doctoral candidate soprano Maria Georgakarakou. They perform together as Duo Oriana.

Mr. Maloney served as a tennis teaching professional at the Babson Recreation Center (Wellesley, MA) and the Mount Auburn Club (Watertown, MA) for over ten years. He was Head Professional of the Babson Tennis Camp for four summers. In addition, Mr. Maloney coached the women’s tennis teams at Babson and Regis Colleges and is a United States Professional Tennis Registry certified professional. Currently, he is the volunteer assistant coach of the Boston University Men's Tennis team.

Mr. Maloney holds a B.A. in History from Bates College, a B.M. in Professional Music (guitar) from Berklee College of Music, and an M.S. in Arts Administration from Boston University. He is a doctoral candidate in Law, Policy, and Society at Northeastern University where his research focuses on cultural policy and the role of the arts in urban economic development.
