Michelle Stebleton, horn, is the Professor of Horn at Florida State University. Her musically centered solo and chamber performances can be heard on four compact discs with MSR Classics: Harambee: The Horn Works of Paul Basler; Marathon, a groundbreaking recording of unaccompanied music for horn; and MirrorImage at the Opera and MirrorImage on Safari, recordings of her horn duo with Lisa Bontrager. MirrorImage has revived the Classical tradition in this century through dozens of commissions and premieres for two horns and piano.
At FSU, Professor Stebleton maintains a studio of c. 30 horn students. She has been awarded the Teaching Incentive Program Award, two Undergraduate Teaching Awards, and five large research grants. She currently serves on the Advisory Council of the International Horn Society and the Advisory Board of the International Horn Competition of America (IHCA).
Ms. Stebleton, a Holton-Leblanc Artist Clinician, is a six-time prize winner in various divisions of the American Horn Competition (now the IHCA). She has traveled the globe as a chamber artist and clinician, having performed regularly as a soloist and clinician in The Dominican Republic, Paraguay and the Czech Republic. She is in demand as an artist-in-residence for her artistry, her superb teaching, and her outgoing demeanor. The fact that she speaks enough (terrible) Spanish to conduct a clinic also helps!
Professor Stebleton received B.M. and M.M. degrees from the University of Michigan, where she studied with Louis J. Stout and Lowell Greer. She holds a diploma from the Prague Mozart Academy.
