Steven Mitchell has been affiliated with Regional Dance America since his early career as a ballet accompanist; he played his first festivals in 1992 hosted by Lone Star Ballet (Amarillo,TX) and Greensboro Ballet (Greensboro, NC).

 

Mr. Mitchell received his Bachelor of Music from Houghton College, Houghton NY and two Master of Music degrees from Southern Methodist University, Dallas TX.  While at SMU, ballet found Mr. Mitchell and he has had a long career in the dance business.

 

Until 2020 Mr. Mitchell was the ballet rehearsal pianist for the Metropolitan Opera and was a pianist for the School of American Ballet in New York City.  He has recorded dozens of albums for ballet teachers to use for their classes and has published sheet music for pianists who play for ballet.  His compositions and piano tracks have been licensed for TV and film, notably the “Flesh and Bone” TV series, appearing in “Center Stage” and, most recently a composition was licensed for the movie “Killers of the Flower Moon”.

 

Currently he resides in his hometown, Harrisburg, PA and has started a not for profit, Harrisburg City Performing Arts Group.  Community-building through the performing arts is its mission, done through city-wide music and dance education, therapeutic movement programs, performance opportunities, and the belief in one’s self.
