BIOS

Dr. Rachel Hockenberry is the Assistant Professor of Horn at Illinois State University. Since moving to Illinois in 2018, Rachel has performed with the Heartland Festival Orchestra, Quad Cities Symphony, Champaign-Urbana Symphony, and the Stiletto Brass Quintet. Prior to 2018, Rachel enjoyed a busy career throughout Southern California and Cincinnati, Ohio as a horn performer and music educator. She has performed with the Columbus Symphony, Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra, Orchestra Kentucky, Santa Barbara Symphony, Fresno Philharmonic, Redlands Symphony, Pacific Opera Project, Opera San Luis Obispo, Golden State Pops, Wind Orchestra of the West, Southeast Symphony, and Chamber Orchestra of the South Bay. She is principal horn of the Queen City Opera, where in October of 2015 she had the distinct pleasure of performing the infamous “Long Call” from Act II of Richard Wagner’s Siegfried. She has also performed with artists such as Billy Idol, Pete Townshend, and Jon Batiste, and has recorded for television series.

Before transitioning to Illinois State, Rachel was the horn professor at Pasadena City College and Los Angeles City College, and kept a large private studio of young hornists throughout Los Angeles County who successfully auditioned into the California All State and All Southern Bands and the Colburn Youth Orchestra. She incorporates elements of El Sistema - a music education philosophy based on the belief that music is a transformative and fundamental human right for all people - into every aspect of her teaching career. Rachel is a graduate of the Sistema Fellows Program at the New England Conservatory of Music, and has completed residencies with El Sistema programs in Venezuela and across the United States. Upon graduation from the Sistema Fellowship, she became the founding director of Kentucky’s first El Sistema inspired program, North Limestone MusicWorks.

A Virginia native, Rachel received her bachelors degree in horn performance from James Madison University. She earned her masters and doctoral degrees in horn performance from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, where she also completed cognate studies in arts administration. Primary teachers include Randy Gardner, Tom Sherwood, Liz Freimuth, Duane Dugger and Abigail Pack, with additional instruction from David Ohanian and Roger Kaza.

The In Motus Tuba Quartet was formed in 2014 and comprises artist-teachers of tuba and euphonium from around the United States. Their recitals, recordings, and master classes have garnered praise and accolades from audiences and are noted for their energy and creativity. The group’s debut album, self-titled In Motus, was generously funded by a recording artist grant from the Emertius Recordings label. Their second recording, Shadows: The Music of Octubaween, features music that celebrates the spirit of the Halloween season. The quartet is a particularly close group of friends, including the husband and wife duo of Drs. Albert and Sarah Miller, as well as long-time friends Dr. Chris Dickey and Dr. Genevieve Clarkson. When faced with creating a group name, quartet member Sarah Miller recalled how readings on musical narrativity had

affected her development as a player and pedagogue. Combining the ideas of motion and storytelling, the result was a name that implies movement. The In Motus Tuba Quartet is dedicated to recording and performing new works for tuba-euphonium quartet as well as exploring transcriptions for the ensemble. Their programming reflects each member’s personal taste in music and helps defy audiences’ expectations about the tuba and euphonium. Recent engagements for the quartet include appearances at international and regional conferences of the International Tuba-Euphonium Association, additional recording projects, and the commissioning of new works for tuba-euphonium quartet. Most recently, the In Motus Tuba Quartet was named a Finalist for the American Prize in Chamber Music Performance. Sarah Miller and Chris Dickey are on faculty at Washington State University, AJ Miller teaches K-12 in Pullman, WA and will be joining the faculty of Washington State University in fall 2019, and Genevieve Clarkson teaches at Oklahoma City University.
