In September 1965 he became conductor-in-residence at the [[University of Miami]], where he conducted its symphony orchestra and also founded a wind ensemble. He also served as the resident conductor of the Miami Philharmonic from 1974 to 1975, and as principal guest conductor of the Interlochen Arts Academy and [[Dallas Wind Symphony]]. At the invitation of its players, he was appointed the initial conductor of the [[Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra]] in 1984.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20061019005354/http://www.tkwo.jp/english/about/fennell.html Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra]</ref>

On the podium, he evinced a courtly yet commanding manner despite his diminutive (5'1") stature. He was known to take charge of a room with words alone, and his conducting was extremely animated. His conducting workshops were famous for including calisthenics and baton-technique exercises in swimming pools. He remained highly active in the world of conducting until a few months before his death at the age of ninety at his home in Siesta Key, Florida. At the time, he was conductor laureate of the [[Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra]]; principal guest conductor of the [[Dallas Wind Symphony]]; and [[professor emeritus]] at the [[University of Miami]] Frost School of Music.<ref>{{Cite journal |date=2005 |title=Frederick Fennell Dies |journal=Teaching Music |volume=12 |issue=4 |pages=15}}</ref>
