Steven Yavarow

Steven T. Yavarow is the current President of the Massachusetts Instrumental and Choral Conductors Association ("MICCA") and a former Music Director of Hopkinton Music Association, Hopkinton, Massachusetts' renowned and award-winning music program. Over the past decade, Yavarow has consistently lead Hopkinton High School's Concert Band to medal-winning performances at festivals across Massachusetts and internationally. Despite having an arguably "controversial" approach to music education, his work has consistently been praised by both students and critics.

Yavarow is also known for his philanthropic work, awarding over fifty scholarships to gifted music students across Massachusetts.

Mr. Yavarrow retired in 2014 after decades of service to the Hopkinton Music Department. He continues to be involved with youth ensembles across the state.
