Dr. Wallace Hinson

This week on Redefining Resonance, I’m joined by Dr. Wallace Hinson, Professor of music Emeritus, former conservatory director, and former associate dean of the school of fine arts and communications at Piedmont University. He shares how a childhood moment sparked his love for music, the unexpected turns that led him to a career in conducting, and what it was like to build Piedmont’s music program from the ground up. We also dive into the power of choral music—not just as an art form, but as a way to bring people together, foster connection, and create something greater than the sum of its parts. Whether you’ve sung in a choir or just love the sound of voices in harmony, this episode is all about the magic of making music together.
