| Submission declined on 7 July 2024 by DoubleGrazing (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: Primary sources cannot establish notability per WP:GNG. I'm not sure the deanship of the BSA is enough to satisfy WP:NACADEMIC #6. I cannot see anything else there that would obviously meet NACADEMIC or WP:MUSICBIO criteria, although happy to hear arguments (appropriately referenced) to the contrary.

James Helgeson (born 1966 in Illinois) is an American and Italian classical musician. He is Dean of the Barenboim-Said Akademie, a Berlin music conservatory, where he is also Professor of Composition and Musicology. [1]
Career[edit]
Helgeson is a composer and Renaissance scholar, and Dean of Daniel Barenboim's Berlin conservatory.[2] He holds a senior and permanent professor post within the German system alongside the deanship.[3]
Helgeson oversees a program for 90 undergraduates and approximately 20 post-graduates, [4] [5] bringing together musicians from the Middle East, associated with the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra.[6] [7] [8] The Barenboim-Said Akademie as such is a bachelors and masters degree granting university located in a 35 million dollar Frank Gehry designed building in Central Berlin, where student scholarships are supported by the German Foreign Office.[9] Faculty in the Dean's departments include pianist Andras Schiff, cellist Frans Helmerson, and composer Jörg Widmann.[10]
Helgeson studied at the Curtis Institute of Music, and holds two doctorates in humanities and music, from Princeton University and Royal Holloway University of London.[11] Previously, he taught at Columbia University, Princeton University, University of Nottingham, and was a fellow of Clare College, University of Cambridge.[12]
He is the author of several monographs in French Renaissance studies, specialising in the relationship between music and literature in the period before 1600, including Harmonie Divine et Subjectivité Poétique chez Maurice Scève (Droz, 2001) and The Lying Mirror (Droz, 2012).[13]. He is also the author of an edited volume published by the University of Edinburgh on Ludwig Wittgenstein.[14] He is a member of the Société Française d'Etude du Seizième Siècle (French Society for the Study of the 16th-century).
