This is what makes special—a place where students are encouraged and supported in bringing their artistic ideas to life.

Proud of these two and the work they’re doing to create new musical opportunities for our community.

We’re excited to welcome Andrew Dibble to the University of Oklahoma as a new doctoral student in choral conducting.

Andrew is currently completing his sixth year as choral director of the Florence One Center for the Arts magnet program at South Florence High School in South Carolina. Prior to this appointment, he led the choral program at the Indian Springs School in Birmingham, Alabama.

His ensembles have been selected to perform at the South Carolina and Alabama Music Educators Association conferences, the South Carolina ACDA Conference, and the National Association of Independent Schools Conference. He is also a first-place winner of the American Prize in Youth and School Choral Conducting.

Thank you to the choral programs at Coppell High School, I.M. Terrell Academy, Arlington Heights High School, and Timber Creek High School for welcoming us during our recent visit to the DFW metroplex.

Our voice, opera, and choral faculty loved working with your singers, and our two undergraduate ambassadors enjoyed singing for the choirs and answering questions about life at OU.

We’re grateful for the chance to meet so many talented young musicians and look forward to welcoming future Sooners!
