In the latest of its four-year series of high-profile faculty appointments, the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music has hired organists Todd Wilson and Janette Fishell to begin teaching on the Bloomington campus this fall.

Wilson has been an internationally known concert and recording artist for nearly 30 years. Fishell teaches at the East Carolina University School of Music.

They will succeed veteran Jacobs School of Music professors Marilyn Keiser and Larry Smith, both of whom will retire later this year.

Wilson and Fishell join other faculty recruits, including pianists André Watts and Arnaldo Cohen, violinists Joshua Bell and Alexander Kerr, conductor Leonard Slatkin and sopranos Carol Vaness and Sylvia McNair.

Wilson, 53, has performed throughout the U.S., and in Europe and Japan. He has released nearly 20 recordings, including the complete organ works of French composer Maurice Duruflé. Since 2001, Wilson has taught at the Cleveland Institute of Music cq and performed with the Cleveland Orchestra.

Fishell, a native of Rushville, has bachelor's and master's degrees from IU and a doctorate from Northwestern University. She has recorded as a soloist and with her husband, British organist Colin Andrews.
