Five members of the conservatory faculty have been granted tenure-track positions beginning this academic year. They span the disciplines of music theory, composition, trombone, and TIMARA—each of them standout artist-educators who join a highly revered conservatory faculty.
And while some are entirely new to their roles, many have deep ties to campus as past visiting faculty, guest artists—and even a former student.
Follow the links below to learn more about each of them, from their areas of scholarly and artistic interest to the courses they teach this fall.
Welcome—and welcome back—to Oberlin, one and all!
