He has served as a Fulbright Specialist to Sub-Saharan Africa, teaching choral conducting and conducting pedagogy at Kenya’s Conservatory of Music. In fall 2019, Kevin taught conducting at the Universitas Pelita Harapan in Jakarta, Indonesia.

As co-founder of AVoice4Peace, Kevin has held AVoice4Peace events in Kenya, Indonesia, Ireland, China, and for the Florida and Southern Region ACDA conventions.

A champion of new music, Dr. Fenton has conducted over thirty premiere performances.

Dr. Fenton has taught graduate and undergraduate courses in choral literature and choral conducting at Florida State University since 2000, and his textbook, Foundations of Choral Conducting, is being used in beginning conducting classes throughout the country.
