A highly respected musicologist, Kregor has been a CCM faculty member since 2007 and currently serves as professor of musicology and head of CCM’s Division of Composition, Musicology and Theory. As a musicologist, he specializes in nineteenth-century music, and has numerous peer-reviewed publications on subjects ranging from Franz Liszt and musical reproduction to virtuosity and gender.
At UC, Kregor has received the George Rieveschl Jr. Award for Creative and/or Scholarly Works in 2016, served as Office of Research Faculty Fellow in 2019-20, and completed the Academy of Leadership and Practice in 2022. He earned a bachelor’s degree in music from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and both a master’s and PhD in musicology from Harvard.
"It is an honor to lead CCM during this transitional period," Kregor said. "With an ever-rising international profile, strong new partnerships with UC Athletics and UC’s Center for Integrative Health and Wellness, and collaborations with Cincinnati’s professional arts organizations, it is an exciting time for CCM. Students remain our top priority as CCM continues its mission to educate and inspire the next generation of creative artists and scholars."
