Artistic Director
Chris Bronson

	Christopher Charles Bronson is a Dallas native and
alumnus of Southern Methodist University with a B.M.
in Music Education. While at SMU, Chris maintained a
Meadows Artistic Scholarship and studied conducting
with Dr. Jack Delaney. Under the direction of Delaney
and Dr. Paul Phillips he has played in numerous
performances of the Meadows Wind Ensemble, Meadows
Symphony Orchestra, Meadows Opera Orchestra, and
various chamber ensembles.

	Chris’s primary instrument is clarinet. His principal
teacher was Paul Garner of the Dallas Symphony
Orchestra. In this relationship of five years, Garner
has been highly influential in Chris’s development as
an overall musician as well as a clarinetist. In Fall
2005, while abroad in France, Chris studied clarinet
with Philippe Cuper of the Paris Opera Orchestra.

	Currently, Chris is student teaching in the Richardson
Independent School District. After completing this in
December 2007, he will be certified to teach K-12
music in Texas. Chris plans to pursue a career as a
high school and/or middle school band director
immediately.

	Chris owes his success to God for giving him the
potential, Gary Faust for lighting the musical fire
inside him, Paul Garner for helping that flame grow,
and his family for always loving and supporting him
through that growth.
