It goes without saying that I have dedicated my life to education, either pursuing it---one never stops doing this---encouraging it or supporting it. From research to concert production or writing a ballet, education is always at the foundation of me endeavors. I include the bio that is used in publication. Dr. Justus wears duel career hats, being a musician and art historian. He has his Ph.D. in Art History from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Previous to this, he received his Masters of Music and Master of Arts from The University of Arizona. A Chateaubriand scholar and French Ambassadorial Laureate, Dr. Justus specializes in and publishes on the patronage of Louis XV and Versailles. In his career, Kevin has worked and performed in a variety of musical groups and productions, from Arizona--including the Tucson Symphony and the Arizona Opera--North Carolina to Paris, France. Being a musical and theatrical impresario, Dr. Justus believes strongly in the power and necessity of live music. He has produced and performed in the acclaimed chamber concerts Brahms in His Retirement and Mozart in Vienna, and The Shape of Things to Come and An Offering of the Art Treasures of St. Philip's, for St. Philip's in the Hills 75th Anniversary.
