A native of Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, Stephanie Fritz Ferguson fell in love with the robust and diverse musical life at an early age and feels equally at home in jazz, orchestra, chamber, theater, and choir settings. 

Stephanie held her first Broadway chair with the production How To Dance In Ohio and can be heard on their Original Broadway Cast album. She has also performed with Moulin Rouge!, Back To The Future, Sondheim’s Old Friends, and The Great Gatsby, as well as the Albany, Allentown, Harrisburg, New Haven, New Jersey, and Princeton Symphony Orchestras. She has shared the stage in orchestras supporting vocal artists such as Roger Bart, Judy Collins, Billy Ray Cyrus, Lalah Hathaway, Jeremy Jordan, JoJo Levesque, Eva Noblezada, Bernadette Peters, Lea Salonga, and Aaron Tveit.

She completed her undergraduate studies at Rutgers University Mason Gross School of the Arts with Richard Deane and Jerry Peel and her graduate studies at Yale School of Music with William Purvis, and currently holds an academic appointment as adjunct professor of horn at Rowan University. She has spent summers at the Aspen, Colorado College, Marrowstone, and Norfolk Music Festivals.

In addition to playing the horn, Stephanie has worked as an ensemble librarian, interview transcriber, and arts administrator, working with organizations such as the New York Philharmonic, Oral History of American Music, Yale Philharmonia, and Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.

Outside of music, Stephanie enjoys reading, hiking, Nintendo, and spending time with her organist husband Joseph and their gray cat Mark.
