BIO

Tyler Ogilvie received his undergraduate degree in music education from Ithaca College (B.M. 2005), with which he served the public schools of New Jersey and Connecticut. In 2008, he returned to his alma mater to pursue graduate studies in horn performance (M.M., 2010).

 

Ogilvie serves on the music faculties of Dickinson College and Colgate University teaching horn and chamber music while maintaining an active private studio in the Ithaca and Syracuse areas. As a contributing faculty member of the music department at Dickinson College, Tyler performs with the Faculty Woodwind and Brass chamber ensembles. Formerly, Ogilvie served on faculties at Susquehanna University and Ithaca College. During summers he instructs horn at the Ithaca College Summer Music Academy. In addition to his freelance performances with regional orchestras and chamber ensembles throughout the Northeast, Ogilvie is principal horn in the Orchestra of the Southern Finger Lakes, where he has appeared as a featured soloist.

 

As a composer, Ogilvie's works range from traditional styles to more experimental electroacoustic pieces utilizing sound effect processors, pre-recorded soundtracks, and visual multimedia. He specializes in bringing his own brand of music and visual art to youthful audiences, having presented at schools throughout New York and Pennsylvania. Several of his works were featured in performances at the 48th International Horn Symposium in 2016. The aim of his music is to make cross-curricular connections to the sciences, math, nature, history, and visual arts. Since 2016, Ogilvie has served as a composer-in-residence in the Syracuse City Schools as part of the Society for New Music's "Composer In Our Schools" program. In 2020, his work, "zero.point." was featured on an album of world premiers for horn and electronics by hornist, Joshua Michal. Ogilvie's primary horn teachers include Alexander Shuhan and Edward Albinski.
