Nathan Zullinger is an Assistant Professor at Haverford College, where he conducts the Chorale, the Chamber Singers, supervises private vocal study, and teaches courses in the Department of Music. He currently serves as department chair. Through the Bi-College Partnership, he also teaches students from Bryn Mawr College. During his tenure he has premiered six new compositions, conducted numerous performances of lesser-known choral masterpieces, and led concert tours to Boston, the province of Quebec, and New York City. He was presented with the Innovation in Teaching award by Haverford College in 2021 and served as a Faculty Marshal for the Class of 2022. Dr. Zullinger received an inaugural Faculty Mentorship Grant from Haverford College for 2024, with which he pursued vocal studies with Dr. Bradley Williard.

Dr. Zullinger has taught at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, the University of Rhode Island, and the Summit Public Schools (NJ). He graduated from Chambersburg Area Senior High School (PA) and received a Bachelor of Science degree in music education from Messiah University. His Masters and Doctoral degrees in choral conducting are from Boston University.

In 2020, Dr. Zullinger formed Viva Voce, a professional choral ensemble to perform and record Curt Cacioppo’s Women of Ancient Greek Myth for Albany Records. The recording won the Ernst Bacon Prize for American Choral Music Performance in 2021. Viva Voce returned to the concert stage in September 2022 with music by Hugo Distler and Heinrich Schutz. The ensemble’s next project is scheduled for the summer of 2025.

In addition to his teaching, Dr. Zullinger is active as a freelance organist and is the president-elect designate for the American Choral Directors Association of Pennsylvania. His choral editions and arrangements are published by Galaxy, Morningstar, and Augsburg.
