Lindsey Reymore
Dr. Lindsey Reymore was a postdoctoral fellow at McGill University in Quebec, Canada with the ACTOR project (Analysis, Creation, and Teaching of Orchestration, https://www.actorproject.org/), a global network of musicians and scientists working on projects related to musical timbre and orchestration. Lindsey’s research applies interdisciplinary methodologies, using approaches from behavioral psychology and data analytics in combination with musical analysis. She plays oboe, English horn, and Baroque oboe and teaches private oboe and musicianship lessons.
Lindsey has presented research in music cognition and theory at national and international conferences, and she was awarded the 2018 first prize Early Career Researcher Award by the European Society for the Cognitive Sciences in Music for work on the linguistic attributes of timbre. Though she is always involved in a diverse range of exciting projects, much of her current research involves the cross-sensory nature of timbre, or sound quality, and other questions of language and meaning related to timbre.
Lindsey holds a PhD in Music Theory from The Ohio State University, where she worked with advisors David Huron and Daniel Shanahan. She has served on faculty at Vanderbilt University and at Belmont University and has served as principal oboe with The Jackson Symphony Orchestra and The Murfreesboro Symphony Orchestra. She earned a Master of Music from The University of Texas at Austin, where she studied with Rebecca Henderson, and a Bachelor of Music in oboe performance from Vanderbilt University, where she studied with Jared Hauser. She performed with The University of Texas Wind Ensemble under conductor Jerry Junkin during their 2014 around-the-world tour; Lindsey has also played ensemble tours throughout China and Brazil and chamber music concerts in London and France. During the summers, she has performed with various festival orchestras, including the Banff Festival Orchestra (Canada), National Music Festival (MD), Hot Springs Music Festival (AR), and the Marrowstone Fellowship Chamber Orchestra (WA).
Originally from Stuart, Florida, Lindsey also enjoys traveling, reading, practicing and teaching yoga, and spending quality time with her infamously lazy cat, Claudette.
