Northwest Festival of Music Conductors

DR. EMERSON EADSEmerson Eads joins the faculty of Minot State University in the

Fall of 2018 as their new Director of Choral Activities and Assistant Professor of Music.

As a composer and conductor, Dr. Eads has devoted himself to music of social concern. His Mass for the Oppressed, a setting of the Ordinary of the Mass featuring textual interpolations by his brother Evan Eads, and a Credo adapted from the diary of Pope Francis before his ordination, holds particular poignancy for the social issues of our time. The Mass was written for the release of the Fairbanks Four (native Alaskan’s from the composer’s home town) who spent 18 years in prison wrongfully. His newest cantata “…from which your laughter rises.” for mezzo-soprano, oboe, and orchestra, was written for the mothers of the Fairbanks Four, and was paired in a concert featuring Haydn’s Stabat Mater, conducted to acclaim. His newest opera, The Princess Sophia, about the sinking of the SS Princess Sophia in October of 1918, will be premiered in Juneau, Alaska in October 25th, 2018.

Dr. Eads studied choral conducting with Dr. Carmen-Helena Téllez at the University of Notre Dame, working with eminent choral conductors such as Joseph Flummerfelt, Stephen Cleobury, Anne Howard Jones, and Peter Phillips among others. He studied composition with Alaskan composer John Luther Adams.

DR. DAVID ROLANDSONDr. David Rolandson is Assistant Professor of Music and Director

of Bands at Minot State University where he conducts the Concert Band, the Pride of MSU Marching Band, the MSU Jazz Ensemble, and the MSU Brass Ensemble. In addition, Dr. Rolandson teaches trombone, euphonium, tuba, and music education courses. He completed his PhD in Music Education (2015) at the University of Minnesota while studying conducting with Craig Kirchhoff.

Dr. Rolandson earned a Master of Music in Wind Band Conducting from Central Washington University (2008) and a Bachelor of Music Education from the University of Minnesota Duluth (2004).

Prior to his appointment at Minot State University, Dr. Rolandson served as the Director of Bands at Renton High School and Dimmitt Middle School in Renton, Washington (2008-2012). While in Renton, his ensembles frequently received Excellent and Superior ratings at regional contests, and his high school students were routinely selected to perform at the annual Washington State

Solo and Ensemble Contest. Dr. Rolandson was also an active member of the Washington Music Educators Association serving as the Soundview Region President from 2010-2012. In 2009, he received the Renton Area Chamber of Commerce “Ahead of the Class” award for teaching excellence. Dr. Rolandson remains committed to educating music students of all ages and maintains an active schedule as a guest conductor and clinician.

As a tubist, Dr. Rolandson has performed with the Synergia Northwest Orchestra, Mid-Columbia Symphony, Oregon East Symphony, Twin Ports Wind Orchestra, and Duluth Italian Opera Festival Orchestra.
