Biography
- A native of Cincinnati, OH, Mitchell Miller is currently studying Konzertexam in the
class of Prof. Nathan Laube at the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Stuttgart,
where he recently completed a Master’s of Organ in the class of Prof. Dr. Ludger Lohmann and a
Master’s of Historical Keyboard Instruments in the studios of Prof. Dr. Ludger Lohmann and
Prof. Jörg Halubek. Before coming to Germany, Mitchell graduated from Oberlin College and
Conservatory with a Bachelor’s of Music in Organ Performance and a Bachelor’s of Arts in
German. He studied organ with James David Christie, harpsichord and continuo with Webb
Wiggins and Mark Edwards, and piano with Jonathan Moyer. Additionally, Mitchell studied
clavichord with David Breitman in the spring of 2015, and with Oberlin’s Distinguished Visiting
Professor of Organ, Marie-Louise Langlais, in the fall of 2012.
Following a year studying in Stuttgart as a Fulbright Scholar, Mitchell was awarded a

he has garnered such honors as receiving first prize in the 2017 Tuesday Musical Scholarship

the 2015 Taylor Organ Competition. In addition to competitions, Mitchell is a frequent participant in master classes, having participated in classes with such esteemed teachers as Olivier Latry, John Grew, Harald Vogel, and Nathan Laube, among others.
An active recitalist in Europe and the United States, Mitchell has performed at notable
