 Dr. Gregory Brown is in his first year at Smith College. He recently completed a year as Visiting Assistant Professor of Music and Director of Choral Activities at The College of Wooster, where he conducted the Wooster Chorus and taught composition and music technology.

Before coming to the College of Wooster, Dr. Brown taught and conducted at Amherst College, the University of Georgia, and The Putney School. In January of 2004, Dr. Brown was one of 6 conductors chosen from an international pool to take part in the 24th National Conductor's Symposium with Jon Washburn and the Vancouver Chamber Choir. Brown's experiences as a choral singer include concerts with the New York Philharmonic (including world premieres of works by Thomas Ades, Stephen Paulus, and Kaija Saariaho), the Philadelphia Orchestra (Beethoven's Missa Solemnis), and the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra (Grammy-award winning recording of Dvorak's Requiem).
In 2006, Brown was invited to present a paper at an international symposium in Coimbra, Portugal, on the music of composer Fernando Lopes-Graca. Brown was chosen to present his analysis of Brahms's Gesang der Parzen at a poster session at the 2007 ACDA National Convention in Miami, FL. Dr. Brown is also an avid composer, having studied with 2000 Pulitzer Prize winner M. Lewis Spratlan, David Reck, Stefan Young, Adrian Childs, and Leonard V.
