Prior to founding COSM at Rockefeller University in 2000, conductor John McCauley spent the 80s and 90s with regional opera companies – including Arizona Opera, Nevada Opera, Opera Iowa, Opera Northeast, Des Moines Metro Opera, Bel Canto Opera, and Eastern Opera Theater.
A highly regarded accompanist and collaborative pianist, he toured for Columbia Artists Management Community Concerts and played on nearly every major stage in New York City, including Lincoln Center and Carnegie Recital Hall.
In 2007 and 2008 he returned to the concert stage with performances in Oxford, England, Paris, and Salzburg. In New York, recitals were at Steinway Hall and the Roerich Museum.
Trained in European and American traditions, McCauley studied conducting with Jorge Mester and Jean Morel at the Juilliard School and in Master Classes with Herbert von Karajan at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria. His chamber music studies were with Felix Galimir, and piano studies were with Claire Richards, Paul Jacobs, Josef Raieff, Beveridge Webster, and Carlo Zecchi.
Piano pedagogy studies with Carolyn Powell Shaak at the University of Illinois and with Robert Pace at Columbia University Teacher’s College formed his outlook on teaching. He teaches a large class of children and adults at the 92nd Street Y School of Music in New York and is also on the coaching/accompanying staff at the Manhattan School of Music.
McCauley received a Bachelor of Music Degree from the University of Illinois, a Master's Degree at the Juilliard School of Music, performance certificates from the Mozarteum in Salzburg, and has completed all but the dissertation for a DMA at the University of Colorado.
