The bands at Downing have consistently earned superior ratings at the Texas U.I.L. Concert and Sightreading contest and have won numerous awards in band festivals throughout the state of Texas. In 2005, the Downing Symphonic Band was invited to perform at the 2005 Midwest Clinic in Chicago.

Under his baton, the St. Olaf Orchestra has appeared in 26 states and nine countries in central and eastern Europe, and they have been broadcast on National Public Radio, Austrian National Radio (ORF), and PBS television. The orchestra has also performed at regional and national music festivals, and they have been featured on Garrison Keilor's "A Prairie Home Companion" radio program. During Amundson's tenure, the St. Olaf Orchestra has developed into an ensemble with few peers among liberal arts colleges. A 1977 graduate of Luther College, Amundson obtained the Master of Music degree in orchestral conducting at Northwestern University and did further studies at the University of Virginia, the Aspen Music School, and the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria. He has enjoyed the tutelage of notable conductors including Maurice Abravanel, Milan Horvat, Erich Leinsdorf, and Bernard Rubenstein. A professor of music, Amundson teaches courses in conducting, music theory, ear training, and instrumentation. Before coming to St. Olaf, he held conducting positions at the University of Virginia, Tacoma Community College, and served as Music Director of the Tacoma Youth Symphony. He is the also the founding conductor of the Twin Cities-based Metropolitan Symphony, which he led for five years.

Amundson has served as resident conductor and guest conductor at the Interlochen National Arts Camp and spent nine summers as the orchestra conductor for the Lutheran Music Program. In 1997, he completed thirteen years as music director and conductor of the Bloomington (MN) Symphony Orchestra.

He remains active as a guest conductor of community and professional ensembles in the Midwest including the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Duluth-Superior Symphony Orchestra, the Minneapolis Pops Orchestra, and the Fargo-Moorhead Symphony. He is a clinician and presenter at state and regional music conventions and an adjudicator for young artist competitions in the Midwest. Amundson is also a frequent conductor for Honors and All-State Orchestras throughout the United States, most recently appearing with the Colorado, Nebraska, Illinois, and Utah All-State Orchestras. In 2009, Amundson will conduct all-states in Michigan, Tennessee and Georgia.

An active composer and arranger, Amundson is published by MMB Music, Boosey and Hawkes, and the Neil A. Kjos Music Company. His self-published compositions are distributed by Tempo Music Resource.

His orchestral works have received over 400 performances by a wide array of university, civic and professional ensembles in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and China. His Angels' Dance is featured on the 2003 Houston Symphony Holiday CD. In the 1980 International Conducting Competition sponsored by the Mozarteum and National Austrian Radio (ORF), Amundson placed first, earning the Hans Häring Prize and was immediately engaged to record with the International Summer Academy Orchestra for Austrian National Radio that same year. In 1992, the Minnesota Music Educators Association named him Orchestra Educator of the Year. In the fall of 1995, Luther College honored him with the Carlo A. Sperati Award for meritorious achievement in music.

A product of the rich cultural life of Chicago, composer-conductor Mark Camphouse was born in Oak Park, Illinois in 1954. He holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in music from Northwestern University where he studied conducting with John P. Paynter, composition with Alan Stout, and trumpet with the late Vincent Cichowicz. A scholarship from the prestigious Civic Orchestra of Chicago (Training Orchestra of the Chicago Symphony) enabled Camphouse to study trumpet privately for two years with legendary Chicago Symphony Principal Trumpet Emeritus, Adolph Herseth. Camphouse began composing at an early age, with the Colorado Philharmonic premiering his First Symphony when he was 17. His 20 published works for wind band (Alfred, Kjos, Southern and TRN Music Companies) have received widespread critical acclaim and are performed widely in the US and abroad. Many may be heard on the Albany, Citadel and Summit labels. His compositions have been performed in such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, Orchestra Hall-Chicago, Royal Albert Hall-London, and conferences of the World Association for Symphonic Bands and Ensembles, College Band Directors National Association, Music Educators National Conference, American Bandmasters Association, and Midwest International Band and Orchestra Clinic. Principal commissions include those by the John P. Paynter Foundation, William D. Revelli Foundation, Bands of America, Inc., The United States Army Band, The United States Marine Band, Northshore Concert Band, and some of America’s finest college, high school, and community bands.

Mr. Camphouse has served as a guest conductor, lecturer and clinician in 41 states, Canada and Europe.

He was elected to membership in the American Bandmasters Association in 1999 and has served as coordinator of the National Band Association Young Composer Mentor Project since 2000. He conceived and edits the unique multi-volume book series for GIA Publications, Composers on Composing for Band.

He was featured recently in a nationally broadcast interview on NPR’s “Weekend America,” focusing on his composition entitled A Movement for Rosa honoring late Civil Rights heroine Rosa Parks on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of her single act of courage sparking the modern Civil Rights movement.

Camphouse is Professor of Music at George Mason University where he conducts the wind symphony and teaches courses in conducting and composition. Other principal artistic, administrative, and educational positions he has held include serving as Music Director and Conductor of the New Mexico Music Festival at Taos Symphony Orchestra (1977-1982), Music Division Head of the Virginia Governor’s School for the Arts (1985-1989), Acting Dean of Music of New World School of the Arts in Miami, Florida during the 1998-99 academic year, and Director of Bands at Radford University in Virginia from 1984-2006.

Mark Camphouse has been married to soprano Elizabeth Ann Curtis since 1982. daughters, Beth and Briton.
