Cynthia Johnston Turner

Cynthia Johnston Turner is an active conductor and clinician in the United States, Latin America, Europe and Canada. She is currently on the faculty of Cornell University, where she directs the Wind Ensemble, Wind Symphony and chamber winds. Johnston Turner is guest conductor with the Syracuse Society for New Music and principal guest conductor with the Austrian Festival Orchestra and Paris Lodron Ensemble in Salzburg.

A Canadian, Johnston Turner completed her Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Education degrees at Queen's University and her Master of Music in music education and conducting at the University of Victoria. Touring with her ensembles inspired her master's thesis on the musical and personal transformations that occur on tours, and her D.M.A. thesis at the Eastman School of Music centered on Dialogues and Entertainments by William Kraft. At Eastman, she was the recipient of the Eastman Graduate Teaching Award in conducting, where she studied with Donald Hunsberger, Mark Scatterday, and Neil Varon. She was nominated for the Canadian Prime Minister's Leadership in Teaching Award and received the National Leadership in Education Award (Readers Digest Foundation), the Excellence in Education Award (Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation), and the Marion Drysdale Leadership Among Women Teachers Award (also from OSSTF).

Service is an important component of Dr. Johnston Turner's career. In January 2006, she led the Cornell Wind Ensemble on a performing and service tour to Costa Rica that included performances across the country and the donation of over fifty instruments to a rural 'escuela de musica.' The Cornell Wind Ensemble returned to Costa Rica in 2008, donating over eighty instruments to three music schools. In 2010, Cornell donated 95 instruments to five music schools in Costa Rica, performed eleven concerts in twelve days, and gave master classes to over 300 music students across the country.
