Honouring Excellence
Honours Tie for Professor Dean Sutcliffe.
Last year at a special assembly, Headmaster Bradley Fenner awarded an Honours Tie to Professor Dean SUTCLIFFE( Major, 1974-78).
The Honours Tie is the highest College award given to a member of the King’ s community. For Old Collegians it is presented to people who have achieved great distinction in what they have done, usually in their professional careers.
During his time at King’ s, Dean Sutcliffe was an outstanding student, and his results placed him amongst the best in New Zealand. He was very involved in music, being a member of the King’ s Stringers, College Orchestra and Glee Club Orchestra. In Year 12, he won the Preston Chambers Prize for Music, and School Prizes for English, French, and German. He was also awarded a Geoffrey Greenbank Scholarship.
In his final year, Dean was a School Prefect, Deputy Head of Major House and House Music leader. He won the Stuckey Prize for English Literature, the A Thomson Prize for French and the Preston Chambers Prize for Music. He was also awarded the Lloyd Seabrook Prize, which is given to a student who demonstrates strong leadership, influence for the Arts, gives everything a go, has a cheerful presence, and is a person of stature.
Most notably, he was 1978 Dux of the College.
From King’ s Dean went on to Auckland University where he graduated with an MA in English and German and a BMus specialising in composition. He then spent 22 years at the University of Cambridge, completing an MPhil and a PhD on Haydn’ s piano sonatas and piano trios respectively. Here he was awarded a Pilkington Prize for his contributions to faculty and college teaching.
In 2009, Professor Sutcliffe was awarded the prestigious Dent Medal, which has been awarded by the Royal Musical Association annually since 1961 to recipients from around the world, selected for their outstanding contribution to musicology.
It is the leading international award in the study of Music.
In awarding the Honours Tie to Professor Sutcliffe, Headmaster Bradley Fenner comments,“ It is clear that you are at the very forefront of your field and that you have pursued your passions and your intellectual pursuits in a way that is a model for all of us, and particularly for the young people here today. It gives me great pleasure to present to you a King’ s College Honours Tie in recognition of all that you have achieved.”
As well as having numerous publications to his credit, Professor Sutcliffe is editor of the journal, Eighteenth-Century Music, published since 2004 by Cambridge University Press. He now holds the position of Associate Professor in the School of Music at the University of Auckland.
