Cellist Hilary Glen has been praised as a “standout performer” who has successfully “taken on the demanding and most expressive responsibilities assigned to the instrument.” She enjoys a varied career of teaching and performing.

Performances have taken her around the world from the Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall in the US to the Concertgebouw in the Netherlands, to Bunkamura Orchard Hall in Japan. After maintaining a fulfilling orchestral schedule for many years, Dr. Glen has turned her focus to chamber music and teaching. She currently serves on the faculty of Colgate University as the Director of Chamber Music.

With a mission to promote inclusive and intentional programming, she regularly curates interactive chamber music events that feature the works of historically excluded composers. She has presented her research at National Conferences for the College Music Society and at the inaugural, 2023 Context Conference at the Eastman School of Music.

Dr. Glen completed her BM at Indiana University with Janos Starker. She earned her MM and DMA with Alan Harris, at the Eastman School of Music.
