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.

Welcome—and welcome back—to Oberlin, one and all!
