Biographical Information:
Ryan Fisk is an adjunct lecturer of tuba performance at the Aaron Copland School of Music, Queens College. He is a New York City–based multi-instrumentalist celebrated for his mastery of the entire low brass family and his versatility across a wide range of musical genres. Equally at home in classical, contemporary, and popular idioms, he performs regularly at many of New York’s premier performance venues. As a soloist, he is a passionate advocate for bold, imaginative works by American composers, championing music that expands the expressive and technical possibilities of the low brass tradition.
Outside of performance, Ryan is pioneering new frontiers in systematic musicology, leading interdisciplinary research that bridges quantum acoustics, advanced signal processing, and hyper-realistic sound field capture. His work seeks to redefine the relationship between music, physics, and perception—establishing new paradigms for how sound is recorded, understood, and experienced.
Ryan Fisk studied Music Education at Louisiana State University and Texas State University, where he earned his Bachelor of Music degree. After relocating to New York City, he completed a Master of Music in Classical Tuba Performance at the Manhattan School of Music. He is currently pursuing a Master of Education at Columbia University’s Teachers College, with plans to continue toward a Ph.D. in Systematic Musicology.
