Dr. Stephanie Tubiolo

Stephanie Tubiolo serves as the associate director of choirs and an assistant professor of music at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, where she conducts Kantorei and Chapel Choir, teaches undergraduate conducting, and serves as the advisor for several student-led chamber ensembles and the Concordia chapter of the American Choral Directors Association. In recognition of her commitment and dedication to students, Dr. Tubiolo was awarded the Distinguished Service to Students Award from the Concordia Student Government Association in spring 2026. 

Prior to joining the Concordia faculty, Dr. Tubiolo studied and taught 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 Rutgers Opera Theatre.  Together with her work on the podium, Tubiolo taught conducting, 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 to 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 work at Concordia, Dr. Tubiolo leads the youth choir at Trinity Lutheran Church in Moorhead and manages NextWorks, an initiative of the Yale Glee Club which commissions accessible new choral music for the public domain, thus enabling choirs of all sorts to perform new music for free.  She frequently serves as a guest clinician and conducted the Minnesota All-State Soprano-Alto Choir in 2026. 

In addition to her doctorate in choral conducting from Mason Gross School of the Arts, Tubiolo holds a bachelor of arts degree in music from Yale College and a master of music degree in choral conducting from the Yale School of Music and Institute of Sacred Music.
