Member Bio eff Held is a multi-faceted leader and professor at Concordia University Irvine. He leads Arts Activities and Music as an Assistant Dean in the School of Arts and Sciences. In that role, he has led the music faculty as they have made significant contributions to the build-out of the music department to its full scope, including an innovative music major, accreditation with NASM, major facilities upgrades, and student enrollment growth. He also supports the faculty of the art, graphic art, theatre, and dance programs. Dr. Held is the music director of both the Concordia Wind Orchestra and the Concordia Symphony Orchestra. Since his appointment in 2005 as the founding full-time faculty member of these ensembles, he has established a programming structure that puts students in many orchestral ensemble roles - encompassing wind orchestra, symphony orchestra, baroque, church, and chamber music. Utilizing creative combinations of all of these options, he has become one of the most creative concert programmers for collegiate music ensembles, to the delight and edification of audiences and performers. In a teaching capacity, Dr. Held introduces many students to the vast world of music and its history through his online class, MUS 112 Music in the Liberal Arts. This class serves Concordia's Q and I curriculum by addressing the question, Why Art. Dr. Held also prepares music majors to conduct orchestras. Dr. Held received the Doctor of Musical Arts in Music Education from Boston University. His research interest was comparing learning atmospheres for music majors between large and small universities. He received a master's degree from The American Band College at Southern Oregon University and an undergraduate degree in music from Valparaiso University. In addition, he completed the Lutheran Teaching Colloquy from Concordia University Irvine. His career began as band director and music department chairman at Orange Lutheran High School, where he established a prominent concert band, jazz band, and handbell ensemble.

Rebekah Heller

Work Phone
Member Bio Rebekah Heller is a multi-hyphenate artist: a bassoonist of both highly notated and improvised music, a conductor, composer, educator, curator, arts leader, organizer, and thought partner. With a conservatory education and early career focused on western classical orchestral traditions, and over a decade of experience in the fields of new music, non-profit organizing, and performing arts education, Heller is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between classical and experimental music practices. She is committed to centering conversations about anti-racism, decolonization, and uprooting patriarchal and white supremacist structures and mindsets across the music industry. As a solo artist, Heller is known for creating immersive environments — using custom lights, commissioned clothing, and playing from memory — to facilitate electric connections with her audiences. Called "an impressive solo bassoonist" by The New Yorker, Heller made her solo debut with the New York Philharmonic in September 2018, and has been a soloist with the Seattle Symphony, the Nagoya Philharmonic, and the New World Symphony. She has been a featured soloist at the TIME:SPANS Festival, on Miller Theater’s Portrait Concert Series, at the experimental music hub, The Stone, and she will make her solo debut at the Born Creative Festival in Tokyo in July of 2023. A curious and unceasing advocate for the bassoon as a solo instrument, Heller has worked side-by-side with composers over the last decade to forge an exciting new repertoire of works for solo bassoon and bassoon with electronics. Many of these compositions can be found on her solo albums: 100 names, which was called "pensive and potent" by The New York Times, and METAFAGOTE, which ArtMusicLounge insists is “here to explode…any preconceived notions you may have had about bassoon music.” As a conductor, Heller is thrilled to share her decades’ worth of experience interpreting contemporary music, and her gift of translating a composer’s vision into clear and emotionally charged performances. In response to her 2022 New World Symphony conducting debut, the South Florida Classical Review wrote, “Heller’s crisp direction, sans baton, guided the players through the score’s intricacies, marshaling their energetic reading.” As bassoonist (since 2008) and former Artistic Director of the International Contemporary Ensemble, Heller has collaborated with hundreds of composers worldwide to make countless groundbreaking new chamber pieces come to life. Through her many roles in the ensemble, she has been deeply involved in the act of collaborative curation for over a decade. Recognizing that conscientious curation cannot happen in a vacuum, she and her colleagues have always curated with racial, gender, and social justice at the core.
