Dr. Stephanie Tubiolo is a New Jersey-based conductor and educator. She currently teaches at Rutgers–New Brunswick, where she won the Irene Alm Memorial Prize for Excellence in Performance and Scholarly Research for her doctoral work. At Rutgers, she serves as conductor of the University Choir and Voorhees Choir and as chorus master of Rutgers Opera Theatre. In addition to her work on the podium, Tubiolo teaches conducting to undergraduates studying music education and performance and works collaboratively with the music teachers in New Brunswick Public Schools. Prior to beginning her doctoral work at Rutgers, she served as Associate Director of Choirs at Princeton University.

From 2011-2023, concurrent with her work at the university level, Tubiolo taught with the Yale School of Music’s Music in Schools Initiative. 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, the CMEA All-State conference, the Urban Music Leadership Conference, and in collaborations with professional ensembles Tenebrae and Kaleidoscope Vocal Ensemble. In recognition of her work with the Music in Schools Initiative, she received the Yale Distinguished Teaching Artist Award in 2023.

Alongside her teaching, Tubiolo 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. In addition to her doctorate in choral conducting from Mason Gross School of the Arts, she 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, where she sang and recorded professionally with the Yale Schola Cantorum.
