Barry Kopetz
Barry E. Kopetz (born 1951) is an American music composer and conductor. Dr. Kopetz is currently the professor of conducting and Director of Bands at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio. However, he has announced (as of April, 2014) that he will be leaving this school and heading to Mississippi State University to serve in an administrative role. His shoulder condition has led to a decrease in Dr. Kopetz's ability to conduct at a high volume, like he has for over a decade at Capital. Prior to his appointment there, he was a professor of music at the University of Utah, where he founded the Salt Lake Symphonic Winds.
