Faculty & Administration

Our faculty is a carefully selected group of world-class performers, directors, conductors, coaches, and teachers. As mentors at HPAF, each member of our faculty team is committed to the support and development of each young artists during their residency. The primary goal of our executive and artistic staff is to ensure all participants depart HPAF with a greater sense of self-awareness and confidence as musical storytellers and representatives of the art form.
