John Bailey is Richard H. Larson Distinguished Professor of Music and flutist with the Moran Woodwind Quintet at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Glenn Korff School of Music. Since 1986 he has been principal flutist with the Lincoln Symphony Orchestra, with which he has appeared as concerto soloist on several occasions, most recently in February, 2022. He received his undergraduate degree from Indiana University, where he studied with James Pellerite. Both his masters and doctorate were earned at Northwestern University, where he was assistant to Walfrid Kujala. He also studied at the Hochschule für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Vienna, Austria, with Louis Rivière, piccoloist of the Vienna Philharmonic. From 1982 to 1996 he was program annotator in German for the American Institute of Musical Studies (AIMS) in Graz, Austria, where he was also co-principal flutist with the festival’s orchestra.
Bailey is an active recitalist, lecturer, and masterclass teacher. He has performed at the Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C.; the Chicago Public Library Cultural Center (as part of the Dame Myra Hess series); Unity Temple, Oak Park, IL; numerous universities throughout the US; and in recital in Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic, England, and Venezuela (El sistema). He has lectured, performed, and conducted at numerous National Flute Association (NFA) conventions, at national and international conferences of the College Music Society (CMS), at international conventions in Munich and Rome, and has been a guest of the Florida Flute Fair, the Rochester Flute Fair, the Oklahoma Flute Fair, the Pittsburgh Flute Club, the Raleigh Area Flute Association, and the Flute Society of St. Louis, as well as the Seattle Young Artists Music Festival.
