Rich Lauver, Ensemble Manager

Rich Lauver studied music theory and composition at the University of Texas at Austin with piano as his principal instrument. His piano teacher, Danielle Martin, was an alumna of the Peabody Conservatory. While at the University of Texas, where he originally majored in physics before switching to music, he began composing for and playing with various progressive, punk, new-wave, and alternative rock ensembles as a multi-keyboardist, synthesist, vocalist and MIDI programmer, in a performing career which lasted for some fifteen years. Mr. Lauver joined the staff of the Peabody Conservatory in 1999 as an ensemble coordinator, and currently manages the personnel, rehearsal and performance activities of the Peabody Wind Ensemble and Chamber Winds, Peabody Camerata, and Peabody Jazz Orchestra.
