Biography
Tony Weinstein earned two bachelor's degrees in Oberlin's Double Degree Program—a B.M. in piano performance and a B.A. in pure mathematics with honors. He was then awarded three degrees by the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University—a Master of Music, Performance Diploma, and Doctor of Music with distinction.
In addition to his role at Oberlin Conservatory, Weinstein is co-director of artistic affairs for the Summer Piano Academy at Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, where he has been on the faculty for more than 10 years.
Weinstein previously served on the faculty at the DePauw University School of Music, where he taught advanced keyboard skills, piano literature, piano pedagogy, and secondary piano, and he performed as a member of the accompanying staff. He chaired District C of the Indiana Music Teachers Association and taught at Vincennes University and Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, where he was accompanying coordinator and an associate instructor of piano and music theory.
Weinstein often performs with his sister, mezzo-soprano Yana Weinstein, as well as with baritone Andre Campelo. For several years, he has been involved in a project of performances, translations, and IPA transcriptions of the songs of Nikolai Medtner. He was the organizing force behind DePauw University's BrahmsFest, a multi-year exploration of the chamber and solo piano works of Johannes Brahms.
His principal teachers have included Luba Edlina-Dubinsky at Indiana University, Sedmara Rutstein and Haewon Song at Oberlin Conservatory, and Derison Duarte at Cincinnati’s School for Creative and Performing Arts. He has also studied song repertoire with Roger Vignoles.
