Dr. Stearns has an unusual blend of aesthetic and technical knowledge. Not only has Dr.
Stearns recorded several live and session events throughout Germany (including the
Stuttgart Symphony Orchestra and the inaugural CD of the new Johannes Rohlf pipe organ in
Altensteig, Germany), he has also taught classical guitar and lute, and performed on both
instruments throughout Europe. Dr. Stearns has also written a series of readily-accessible
musical text books.
After earning his Ph.D. in music, Dr. Stearns moved to Europe to further his academic and
performance interests. At the same time, his interest in high-end recording dove-tailed with
an ongoing need for such recordings and thus propelled him into a parallel career path.
In the German Tonmeister tradition, Dr. Stearns brings broad technical and practical
experience to recording, along with a deep knowledge of music and music performance. His
breadth of understanding of music in many historical contexts helps him achieve recordings
that are not only technical tours de force, but also highly engaging because of the musical
aliveness that Dr. Stearns is innately able to capture.
Dr. Stearns currently teaches in the Music Department of Southern Utah University.
