An emerging talent in the field, Cincinnati-based conductor, vocalist, and educator Gregory Miller has already established himself as a sought-after, versatile, and accomplished musician. He is especially passionate about vocal pedagogy, historical performance practice, promotion of underrepresented composers, and the power of emotional expression in vocal performance.

A native of the Queen City, Miller is ecstatic to return to the Cincinnati Youth Choir as the conductor of Voci. For six years, he sang in CYC as a member of Piccolo, Con Brio, Voci, and Bel Canto.

He currently serves as the Director of Choirs at the Cincinnati Country Day School, where he coordinates classroom and extra-curricular ensembles of students from grades two through twelve. During his tenure, he has increased student participation in choral activities, created two new ensembles, and established relationships between the choral program and the surrounding community. He is Assistant Choirmaster at the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer in Hyde Park, where he co-conducts the Redeemer Choir and contributes in worship and repertoire planning. Previously, he was appointed as director of the University of Cincinnati Juncta Juvant Tenor/Bass Chorus for the 2021-2022 academic year, leading the ensemble made up of undergraduate students from all thirteen of the university’s academic colleges.
