About this Artist

Professor Tiffany Kuo is a conservatory-trained pianist (Juilliard), and a liberal-arts educated musicologist (Stanford, and NYU). Her interdisciplinary research and teaching integrate labor relations, economic inequality, and philanthropic patronage with musicological inquiry to offer culturally relevant perspectives on contemporary music-making. Currently, she holds faculty positions at Mt. San Antonio College, where she has taught since 2011, and the Colburn Conservatory, where she joined in 2019. Dr. Kuo has contributed to scholarly publications, including Critical Historiographies of the Post-War Avant-Garde, Dramaturgie Musicale Contemporaine en Europe, and Mitteilungen der Paul Sacher Stiftung. Her work at Mt. San Antonio College includes leading grant-funded initiatives supported by the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office and the U.S. Department of Education. As a public musicologist, she lectures at the Los Angeles Opera and the La Jolla Music Society.
