“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.”
~ Plato
Vic Esposito, Aerophone's director
Aerophone director, Vic Esposito
As a budding young musician, Mr. Espositos’ parents encouraged him to join the carpenter’s union. While a noble profession, Mr. Esposito decided to attend the University of Rhode Island instead where he earned BA degrees in Music Education and Classical Guitar Performance. Mr. Esposito also earned a Masters Degree in Music Education from Western Connecticut State University and has also attended numerous clinics related to conducting and education.
He has spent his entire career in music education. For the last 30 years, he taught at Cornwall Central High School before retiring in 2017. Along with being the department chair for the Fine and Performing Arts, he also conducted the Concert, Jazz and Pit Bands. Mr. Esposito also taught AP and College Music Theory. He has also conducted High School All County groups and chaired/hosted numerous All County Ensemble Festivals in Orange County and Zone 9 Area All-State Festivals.
Mr. Esposito considers it a great honor to have been selected to conduct the Aerophone Community Band for the up-coming season. He is extremely excited to take over “The Podium” from Mr. Holod. He would like to personally thank Rich for his hard work and dedication over the past 10 years in creating this organization. Mr. Esposito would also like to thank Rich for giving community members and students the opportunity to perform. It offers a great deal to the surrounding community.
Mr. Esposito resides in Milton, New York with his wife, Lisa. They have 3 children, two cats, and a very rambunctious dog named Roman. Since retiring, Mr. Esposito has been enjoying listening to great music, practicing, performing and cooking! When not immersed in those activities, he gladly tends to his garden and whatever “chores” his wife finds for him. And yes, a bit of carpentry as well!
