Gregory Sioles is an adjunct associate professor of music at Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. Previously he was an associate professor of piano at Louisiana State University, where he taught for nearly 15 years. Sioles has been the recipient of numerous honors and awards including a Fulbright Scholarship for study in London, and an Atwater Kent Grand Prize. He has performed on three continents at such venues as the Purcell Room (London), Amerika Haus (Berlin), and the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. Following his London debut in 1983 he made solo appearances in Spain, Germany, Switzerland and Scotland. He has also performed extensively throughout the United States as a recitalist and soloist with orchestra, and been a featured artist on National Public Radio. An avid chamber musician, he has collaborated with numerous artists. Part of the Washington, DC music scene for over a decade, he performed solo and chamber recitals in many of the city's most important halls. International engagements have taken him and bassist Yung-Chiao Wei to Taiwan, where he performed and presented master classes in several major Taiwanese cities. Sioles has visited Panama and Costa Rica where he taught and gave both chamber and solo performances. Due to the pandemic, the cancelled 2020 tours of Taiwan and Greece are being rescheduled. Sioles' recordings for Centaur Records include a solo disc and a CD of French Sonatas with violinist Lin He. Another recording features the two Brahms clarinet sonatas performed by Griffin Campbell on the alto saxophone (CD baby).
Sioles’ principal teachers were Gyorgy Sebok, Maria Curcio Diamand, Victor Aller and Aube Tzerko. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from UCLA and a Master of Music degree from Indiana University. In addition to his work at Louisiana State University and Indiana University, Sioles has served on the faculties of the University of Maryland, the Peabody Conservatory, and Levine Music in Washington, DC.
