The Music Theory and Musicology areas recently welcomed two new faculty members: Dr. Daniel J. Thompson and Dr. Sarah Suhadolnik. Among their wide-ranging teaching and research initiatives, both share interests in jazz history and contemporary performance.

Composer Christopher Jette is joining us this year as a Grant Wood Fellow.  In addition to creating new work, he will direct the Laptop Orchestra of the University of Iowa. Jette will also teach Composition, Composition Seminar, and co-teach Collaborative Performance with faculty from the Department of Dance.
