Pianist, Caryl Worthington Conger, continues her passion of musical collaboration, performing regularly with wind and brass artists in recitals and conferences throughout the U. S. and abroad including the annual U.S.

Army Band Tuba-Euphonium Conferences and the recent ITEA conferences in Finland and Greensboro and Denver. Her special niche of interest has been her collaboration with tuba and euphonium artists including tubists, Daniel Perantoni, Patrick Sheridan, Oystein Baadsvik, Roger Bobo, and Harvey Phillips, and euphoniumists, Steve Mead, Adam Frey, Roger Behrend, and Brian Bowman.

As a gift to the low brass repertoire she commissioned "Fantasy" by Daniel Crozier for tuba and piano and recorded it with Daniel Perantoni. Caryl attended the University of Kentucky, where she studied piano with Nathaniel Patch, and also the Cincinnati College- Conservatory of Music. In the spring of 2003 she retired from the music faculty of Radford University where she was Director of Accompanying and Director of the Bartok-Kabalevsky-Prokofiev International Piano Competition & Festival. She now lives in the mountains outside Estes Park, Colorado. Caryl's other musical interests include 4-hand piano and 2 piano repertoire, the art song repertoire, and new solo and chamber music.
