He received his undergraduate degree in trumpet performance from University of Richmond and graduate degrees in choral conducting and choral music education from Florida State University, studying with André Thomas.
Prior to graduate study, he taught public school in Florida and Virginia. In 2013, he was the Guest Conductor and Clinician for the East African Choral Festival in Nairobi, Kenya. In 2016 he was semi-finalist for The American Prize, as a conductor and as director of the Tallahassee Community Chorus.
In 2019 Linfors was named the Artistic Director of the Syracuse Chorale in Syracuse, New York, and in 2020, he was named to the same position by the Cayuga Vocal Ensemble in Ithaca.
Ensembles under Linfors’ direction have toured Canada, Italy, and the United States, and have been featured at National ACDA Conference and regional conferences.
The Ithaca College Choir, under his direction, was awarded the 2023 American Prize in Choral Performance for larger collegiate programs.
He’s an active commissioner of new choral works for collegiate and community ensembles. Recent performances have included Reena Esmail’s This Love Between Us, Margaret Bonds’ Credo and The Ballad of the Brown King, and Carol Barnett’s Bluegrass Mass: the World Beloved.
