The Quad City Symphony Orchestra is proud to announce Melinda Hubbell as its new Director of Education and Community Engagement. This appointment is the culmination of a six-month, nation-wide search and highlights the Association's commitment to expand and invigorate its many, established education projects.

Melinda comes to the Quad Cities from Atlanta, Georgia. She has an extensive background in music education which includes heading a community music school, instigating and running a preparatory music academy, private teaching, using diverse curriculums, and most recently, working as a business development specialist for Peter Simon Productions, a music production and education company.

Melinda earned a BA in Music from the University of Massachusetts/Boston, an MBA in Managerial Leadership from Piedmont College in Demorest, Georgia, and concurrently studied toward a Master of Arts in Teaching in Music. Her passion is to make quality music and arts education available to all members of the community in order to bridge differences, build self-confidence, promote harmony, and inspire all families of learning. Melinda looks forward to pursuing this commitment in her new role as Director of Education and Community Engagement with the Quad City Symphony Orchestra.
