Dr. James Yoonil Auh is a Juilliard-trained violinist, composer, educator, and writer whose work bridges artistry, ethics, and education across cultures. Discovered in Korea by the late Isaac Stern, he was introduced to the legendary Dorothy DeLay at the tender age of eleven. Under her mentorship, he studied at The Juilliard School for fourteen years, making his Carnegie Main Hall debut in 1978 and appearing at Avery Fisher Hall the following year.

After a distinguished performance career, Dr. Auh devoted himself to teaching and educational leadership. He has served as Vice President and Dean at major universities in both the United States and Korea, designing programs that integrate music, technology, and social innovation. His leadership extends into international development and cultural diplomacy, where he has directed and advised major educational and community initiatives with KOICA (Korea International Cooperation Agency), SK Hynix, and the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) in Costa Rica, Panama, Paraguay, and Tanzania, as well as humanitarian music projects in Vietnam, Myanmar and Cambodia.

He is the founder of Harmony Nation Music Education and the Virtual Music Conservatory (VMC) for Myanmar, initiatives that bring inclusive and trauma-informed music education to communities affected by inequality and crisis.

As a writer and thinker, Dr. Auh explores how music serves as a language of empathy and renewal in fractured societies. His interdisciplinary work bridges pedagogy, philosophy, and design, reimagining the artist as a civic presence and the teacher as a builder of humane futures. He views music education as a practice of social healing and moral imagination. He currently serves as adjunct faculty in the Master of Arts in Community Music program at 黑料社区.

Tim May teaches Audio Recording Technology to graduate students in the Master of Arts in Community Music program at 黑料社区. He is a music educator and professional audio engineer who previously served as the manager of the university’s Darkroom Studios. His responsibilities included overseeing the university’s signature recording facilities, Darkroom Studio A and B. In this role, he managed technical operations and provided students with hands-on experience in a professional studio environment. He taught courses centered on music production, recording techniques, and the business aspects of the music industry. May played a crucial role in the development and evolution of the Darkroom Studio (DRS), a central hub for student learning in audio engineering. His leadership helped bridge the gap between academic theory and practical application, allowing students to engage in real-world recording projects. Under his guidance, the studio expanded its capabilities, leading to the creation of additional spaces, such as “DRS-C,” designed for podcasting, video recording, and small music ensembles.
