Dr. Joel Treybig has been appointed Assistant Professor of Trumpet and Music Theory in the School of Music at Belmont University, Nashville, Tennessee.

Treybig has performed regularly with the Southern Arts Brass Quintet, as principal trumpet with symphony orchestras in Alabama, Mississippi, Ohio, and Texas, and with numerous pit orchestras and chamber groups. An active solo recitalist and chamber musician, he has performed as a guest recitalist and clinician in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, and Texas. As a performer of contemporary music, Dr. Treybig has worked with such American composers as John Cheetham, Eric Ewazen, Karel Husa, Kent Kennan and Joan Tower, who have commended his performances of their music. Additionally, Dr. Treybig's doctoral treatise, An Investigation and Analysis of Karel Husa's Concerto for Trumpet and Wind Orchestra, was praised by Dr. Husa as being exceptional and wrote that he considered the treatise to be "one of the most conscientious research documents on any of my compositions."

In addition to post-graduate study at the Royal Northern College of Music, Dr. Treybig holds a B.M.E. from the Baldwin-Wallace Conservatory of Music, a M.M. from the University of Akron, and a D.M.A. from the University of Texas at Austin.

Treybig has written articles and music reviews in recent ITG Journals, and Manduca Music has published several of his arrangements for brass quintet (including Haydn's Concerto in E-flat). He has served the Mississippi Music Teachers Association as brass coordinator for their annual MMTA performance competitions, and has been selected to be listed in "Who's Who in America" and "Who's Who Among American Teachers."

Prior to his new appointment, Dr. Treybig served on the faculties of Bowling Green State University (OH) and the University of Southern Mississippi.
