Stephanie Tubiolo-Fistonich

Conductor Stephanie Tubiolo-Fistonich is currently pursuing her DMA at Rutgers University, where she also teaches undergraduate conducting. During the virtual era, she served as video editor for many choir projects, both at Rutgers and across the US. She shares her time between New Brunswick, NJ and New Haven, CT, where she has worked with the Yale School of Music’s Music in Schools Initiative since 2011, becoming its first Postgraduate Fellow in 2016. Since 2015, she has developed and directed Morse Chorale, a free choir for New Haven Public School students in grades 4-12 which comprises young musicians from over 15 different schools. In its 6 years of existence, Morse Chorale has been featured at the Connecticut Music Educator’s Association All-State conference, the statewide Superintendent’s retreat, the Urban Music Leadership Conference, in concert with the Yale Camerata, and in frequent performances on their home stage in Sprague Hall at Yale. Most recently, Morse Chorale released numerous virtual projects, including multiple collaborations with the Yale Glee Club, for which Stephanie served as audio and video editor. This coming February, Morse Chorale will be a spotlight choir at ACDA Eastern in Boston.

Stephanie is eager to foster interdisciplinary artistic collaborations, to develop partnerships between higher education and public schools, and is especially passionate about building non-selective choral communities at all levels. She received her B.A. in Music from Yale College and her M.M. in Choral Conducting from the Yale School of Music and Institute of Sacred Music, where she sang with the Yale Schola Cantorum and co-directed the choir at the University Church.
