Please see below the announcement from our Chair of Trustees Simon Freakley.

“The Trustees and I are delighted to announce Roz De Vile as the new Chief Executive of London Music Masters. Roz has been an exceptional leader within LMM for the past five years and has grown our work in schools, teacher training, commissioning and curriculum development with incredible skill, bringing innovation to every aspect of her work. Her previous roles at the groundbreaking Gallions Primary School in East London, and in artist management at Intermusica have brought a depth of insight to her work, which is widely respected across the industry. She is one of the most creative and committed leaders working in music education today with a compelling vision for LMM’s role in shaping music education in the UK.

As Chief Executive, Roz will be responsible for delivering our strategy “Excellence for Everyone” and leading the LMM team to adapt and adjust our work in response to the effects of COVID-19. I look forward to working with her in the coming years as, in these most challenging of times, we face up to the critical task of ensuring creativity and culture remain in the hands of children and young people from all backgrounds.

Together with the board I extend my sincere thanks to Rob Adediran, who steps down after seven years as executive director. He wrote and delivered the organisation’s first two business plans and under his leadership, LMM has grown and thrived. A recognized leader in diversity and inclusion within the music sector, Rob has been a pioneer for inclusive leadership and we wish him the very best as he pursues his future career.”
Simon Freakley, Chair of Trustees

“It is an honour to take on the mantle of Chief Executive at London Music Masters. I am fortunate to inherit a thriving and ambitious organisation thanks to Rob’s strong and inspirational leadership, and accept with excitement and optimism the responsibility of steering our charity through challenging and uncertain times to ensure continued growth, creativity and – above all – commitment to the young people and communities with whom we work.”

“It has been an extraordinary privilege to work with Roz for the past five years. She has been a remarkably effective and inspiring leader in her role as Learning Director and has been singularly influential in our success in recent years. Leading the outstanding team at London Music Masters has been an incredible journey and I remain completely inspired by its mission. I am delighted that Roz will take the organization forward on this journey and am excited to follow LMM’s progress under her leadership in the years to come.”
