Stephen Feldman joined the faculty at the University of Central Arkansas in 2001 after holding teaching positions at the University of Virginia, Penn State University, and DePauw University. A graduate of Swarthmore College, the Eastman School of Music, and the State University of New York at Stony Brook, Dr. Feldman’s cello teachers include Lorne Munroe, Steven Doane, and Timothy Eddy. In addition, he has worked extensively with chamber music coach Julius Levine, Baroque specialists Arthur Haas and Paul O’dette, and members of the American, Orion, and Guarneri String Quartets. Stephen also participated in music festivals at Interlochen, Meadowmount, Aspen, and appeared on NBC's Today Show as a student at the Taos School for Chamber Music.

Adept as a recitalist, chamber musician, and soloist, Dr. Feldman’s cello playing has taken him from St. John’s, Newfoundland to Sacramento, California. Formerly a member of the Fetter, and Rivanna String Quartets, Stephen also performed as cellist in the Quapaw and Sturgis String Quartets during his six years with the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra. He frequently appears in recital and playing chamber music at UCA, and his performance in 2003 of Dmitri Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No. 1 with the Conway Symphony Orchestra was hailed as “stunning” and “dazzling”.
