Mallory Thompson is retiring from her position as Director of Bands at Northwestern University’s Bienen School of Music after 28 years. Mallory Thompson’s history at Northwestern University began as an undergraduate student studying to become a professional trumpet player. But her Northwestern career led her in an entirely different direction.
Mallory Thompson, Director of Bands at Northwestern University’s Bienen School of Music, is pictured leading the Symphonic Wind Ensemble. Thompson indicated that she didn’t think about the fact that she was making history as the first female Director of Bands at Northwestern. The group played at the College Band Directors National Association national conventions in 2001 and 2017.
She said that on a daily basis she has “the commitment to my students to do everything possible to help them achieve their potential. I feel if I don’t really push that I’m going to leave something behind that they could have done. It’s really important to me to encourage and push and coax and cajole them to help them achieve their potential.”
“I wanted to do this for him and also to kind of wrap a bow around this significant part of my life from finishing my doctorate to finishing my career,” she explained.
