Cockrell brings focus on teaching to position
The UA orchestral program is on the verge of something big - but Thomas Cockrell could have said that.
Cockrell, the newly appointed director of orchestral activities and an associate music professor at the University of Arizona, made the move from California to Tucson this summer because he saw potential in Arizona's orchestra program.
"The school is very attractive to me because it's a school that's poised to really start receiving national recognition," Cockrell said.
