He has been a soloist and clinician at numerous universities throughout the country, including the University of Michigan, University of Memphis, University of Louisiana at Monroe, University of South Alabama, Bethune-Cookman University, Oakland University, Eastern Michigan University, Arkansas Tech University, and Eastfield College. He is a founding member and principal trumpet of the NSU Faculty Brass Quintet, who recently performed at the 2012 Oklahoma Music Educators Association convention in Tulsa. He is a member of the Symphony of Northwest Arkansas (Fayetteville, Arkansas) and Ash Lawn Opera (Charlottesville, Virginia) and also performs regularly with the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra, Tulsa Ballet, Tulsa Opera, and Tulsa Camerata.
Since 2009, he has served on the summer faculty of the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp in Twin Lake, Michigan, where he plays in the Festival Orchestra, Festival Band, Faculty Winds, and Faculty Brass Quintet. He has also spent summers performing at the Crested Butte Music Festival (Colorado), Heritage Theatre Festival (Virginia), OK Mozart Festival (Oklahoma), Bowling Green Summer Music Institute (Ohio), and the North Texas Conductors' Collegium.
Dr. Dovel has published articles in the International Trumpet Guild Journal and The Instrumentalist and has been a recordings reviewer for the International Trumpet Guild Journal since 2006. He has also recorded numerous discs with the North Texas Wind Symphony (GIA WindWorks), Lone Star Wind Orchestra (Naxos Records), and the Bowling Green Philharmonia (Albany Records). Prior to his appointment at NSU, he taught at the University of North Texas and North Central Texas College.
The NSU trumpet studio is one of the most active and visible in the region, hosting Oklahoma’s only annual trumpet festival, the Northeastern Trumpet Festival, an event now in its fifth year. The NSU Baroque Trumpet Ensemble is the only of its kind in Oklahoma and one of the few in the United States. For more information, visit www.nsutrumpet.com.
