Dr. Stephanie Tubiolo was recently appointed Assistant Professor of Choral Music at Å·ÃÀÊÓƵ in Moorhead, Minnesota, where she will lead Kantorei and Chapel Choir and teach conducting beginning Fall 2025. 

 

Tubiolo joins the Concordia faculty from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University, where she won the Irene Alm Memorial Prize for Excellence in Performance and Scholarly Research for her doctoral work. At Rutgers, she served as conductor of the University Choir and Voorhees Choir and as chorus master of Opera Theater Rutgers. In addition to her work on the podium, Tubiolo taught conducting to music education and performance majors, coached vocal chamber music, and worked collaboratively with music teachers in New Brunswick Public Schools. 

 

Tubiolo is especially passionate about nurturing community partnerships and taught with the Yale School of Music’s Music in Schools Initiative from 2011-2023. There, she was the founding director of Morse Chorale, a non-selective choir for New Haven Public School students in grades 2-12. Under her direction, Morse Chorale represented Yale and New Haven on many stages, including regional and state ACDA conferences. In recognition of her work with the Music in Schools Initiative, she received the Yale Distinguished Teaching Artist Award in 2023. 

 

Alongside her teaching, Tubiolo manages NextWorks, an initiative of the Yale Glee Club, which commissions accessible new choral music for the public domain, enabling choirs of all sorts to perform new music for free. She holds a BA in music from Yale College, an MM in choral conducting from the Yale School of Music and Institute of Sacred Music, and a DMA from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University.
