After earning her Doctorate in Conducting with Mallory Thompson at Northwestern University, Dr. Axelson was appointed Director of Bands at Central College in Pella, Iowa where she was responsible for running all aspects of the band program. After three years in Iowa, she relocated to Indianapolis, Indiana to become the Assistant Professor of Music Education at the University of Indianapolis. In 2009, she joined the faculty of the John J. Cali School of Music at Montclair State University in New Jersey and has been at Radford University since the fall of 2022.

It is with much sadness that we share the passing of past BRP guest and friend of the podcast, Dr. Dale Lonis. We share clips from old episodes with three of his past students, Dr. Darrin Oehlerking, Dr. Jacqueline Dawson and Dr. Jason Caslor, who share a little bit about their time with Dale and the impact he had on them.
We also share Dale’s hilarious bonus episode with you. Dale tells us about when he was the captain of the University of Illinois rugby team and was hit a little too hard. This event also helped Dale see the softer side of the legendary, Dr. Harry Begian, Director of Bands at the University of Illinois.
We encourage you to listen to Dale’s main episode again and think about how you can connect with people in rehearsals and in life for years to come.

Nicholas Ryan Kellyhttps://www.nicholasryankelly.com/about.html Night Highway by Nicholas Ryan Kellyhttps://www.nicholasryankelly.com/night-highway.html
About Jienan ChenJienan Chen (b. 2001) is a largely self-taught composer from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. He learned to compose mostly from looking at and listening to the music of other composers, and from playing in wind ensembles from the elementary up to the post-secondary levels. His music seeks to emphasize the structures found in Classical-era music while creating intrigue with harmony, counterpoint, or borrowings from the musical styles from his homeland China.
Jienan has composed music for various solo instruments and ensembles, as well as electronic music. Additionally, he has created several arrangements of Chinese music, in his pursuit to make it more accessible in Canada and to widen the repertoire of world music arrangements in the wind ensemble and orchestral repertoire.
Currently enrolled at the University of Alberta pursuing a major in marketing and a minor in music, Jienan devotes his time outside of classes and composing to various activities, such as writing, gardening, cycling, photography, promoting the use of alto clarinet in wind ensembles, pondering the revival of the harmonium, as well as talking about Chinese history.

She has written extensively about working through creative blocks and establishing a career in music in essays for 21CM, Cantate Magazine, the Center for New Music, and NewMusicBox. Her first book, Staying Composed: Overcoming Anxiety and Self-Doubt Within a Creative Life, was hailed by writer Angela Myles Beeching (Beyond Talent) as a "treasure trove of practical strategies for moving your artistic career forward... not only for composers, but for performers, writers, and any other creatives."
Trumbore holds a dual degree in Music Composition and English from the University of Maryland and a Master of Music degree in Composition from the University of Southern California. A New Jersey native, Trumbore lives in Azusa, CA with her husband and their two cats.
