When Noelle Tretick Gosling was a student at the North Carolina School of the Arts, she
was both a violin and ballet major. These dual interests brought her full scholarships to
both the Aspen Music Festival and Ballet West before she finally decided to pursue her
music performance degrees at the Jacobs School of Music in Bloomington, Indiana.
In January 2017, Noelle won the position of Concertmaster of the Muncie Symphony
Orchestra (now Orchestra Indiana ) 55 years after her father held the same position. She
is a former member of the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra and still performs regularly
with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and the Louisville Orchestra.
In addition to classical, Noelle enjoys playing all genres of music and is in demand as a
recording artist for music publishing companies as well as travelling Broadway shows.
Tours with legendary performers including Stevie Wonder, Johnny Mathis, Natalie Cole,
Tony Bennett, Harry Connick Jr, Sandi Patty, Andy Williams, Mel Tormé, Perry Como,
and Manhattan Transfer have taken her from coast to coast.
Noelle has served on the music faculties of Anderson University and Park Tudor School
in Indianapolis. She now maintains a private teaching studio and coaches students of the
Indianapolis Youth Orchestra. During the summers, she teaches at the Music For All
Summer Symposium, Benefic Chamber Music Camp, and the Anderson University
String Camp.
She is one of five children, all of whom are professional musicians. Their father, Sidney
Tretick, was a virtuoso violinist and head of the string department at Ball State University
from 1952 until his untimely death in 1962. Their mother, Patricia Tretick, was also
Professor of Violin at Ball State until her retirement in 1993.
Noelle resides in Indianapolis with her husband Dan, a professional trumpet player and
the inventor of ChopSaver Lip Care. Their son, Anthony, is a 2021 graduate of the
Indiana University Media School in Bloomington, IN.
When not playing the violin, Noelle enjoys cooking, baking, hiking, reading biographies,
collecting unique footwear, and still loves to dance!
