Based in Lancaster, South Carolina, Connor Austell is a versatile musician and educator equally at home in the performance hall and in the lecture hall. A firm believer that scholarship and musicianship go hand-in hand, Dr. Austell’s teaching philosophy holds that decisions made in musical performance should be grounded in a historical, theoretical, and pedagogical understanding of the score. In 2022, Dr. Austell’s work in researching and recording the piano compositions of Thomas “Blind Tom” Wiggins was recognized with an award by the Willson Center for Arts and Humanities at the University of Georgia. His debut album Blind Tom’s Creative Vision is available on all major streaming platforms, and his recent article on the piano works of Thomas Wiggins will appear in an upcoming edition of American Musical Perspectives.
Dr. Austell holds degrees from the University of Georgia, the University of Michigan, and Grand Valley State University, where he studied with David Fung, Arthur Greene, and Sookkyung Cho. He studied chamber music under the tutelage of Katherine Collier, Helen Marlais, and Pablo Mahave-Veglia, and has participated in masterclasses with world-class artists such as Jonathan Boss and Martin Katz. His enthusiasm for Baroque music was fostered by a study of harpsichord and organ technique with Gregory Crowell. Dr. Austell currently serves as Assistant Professor of Music at the University of South Carolina Lancaster.
This concert is presented in collaboration with Foundry Hall and is supported in part by Holtec-Palisades, Michigan Arts and Culture Council, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Activities supported in part by the MICHIGAN ARTS AND CULTURE COUNCIL and the NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS.
