Itinerary

Host

John Pasquale

Director, University of Michigan Marching and Athletic Bands

Fun fact

I am the only band director in the world to have a halftime show introduced from the International Space Station!

U-M Role

I am the director of the marching band, conduct various ensembles on campus, and teach courses in rehearsal, instrument, and ensemble pedagogy. My research centers on the intersection of the conductor as an artistic leader and pedagogue, and on teaching aural analysis of live ensemble sound to conductors to maximize rehearsal efficiency.

What Excites You About the Trip?

I couldn’t be more excited to host a trip to Denmark and am really looking forward to learning about the Viking culture, enjoying the stunning and diverse landscape, experiencing the incredible music and art of Danish composers and artists (literature too, of course), and exploring the emerging food scene — all with dear friends from the greatest university in the world!
