Aaron Greenwald came to the university in October 2019. Previously, he served as managing director of the Big Ears Festival—described by The New York Times as “one of the world’s greatest music bashes”—in Knoxville, Tenn. Before that, he was executive director of Duke Performances at Duke Aaron Greenwald University (2006–2019). Prior to that, Greenwald helped conceive and produce the New Yorker Festival and The New York Comedy Festival. Straight out of college, he spent several years producing country music videos in Nashville including the iconic video for Kenny Chesney’s iconic tune “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy.” Greenwald received a BA in theater from Columbia University and was awarded a postgraduate Fulbright to study theater post-Apartheid in South Africa.
