ABOUT THE ARTIST

Jeremy is a percussive artist whose unique versatility allows him to move seamlessly among musical worlds.

While the foundation of his playing comes from his classical training at The Juilliard School, his interests lie in a wide range of folkloric and modern percussion traditions from around the globe such as those found in South America, North Africa, India, Spain, the Middle East, and the U.S.

He performs regularly with flamenco guitarist and composer Andreas Arnold, Peruvian music group Festejation, Middle-Eastern music collective Brooklyn Nomads, and global jazz quintet Mr. Ho's Orchestrotica. He has been a featured player in performances with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Hudson Valley Philharmonic. In 2016 he was invited to the International Percussion Festival in Seoul, South Korea as a solo world percussion concert artist.

In the Fall of 2017 he toured the U.S. with The Knights chamber orchestra featuring guest artists Avi Avital and Kinan Azmeh. He was the percussionist in the new musical theatre production We Live In Cairo, which premiered at the American Repertory Theatre in 2019. Other collaborations and performances include the Los Angeles Philharmonic, New York Gypsy All-Stars, Farah Siraj, Antonio Lizana, Jorge Glem, Al Margen Flamenco, Fleur Seule Latin Big Band, Terraza 7 Big Band, Zāna, Quentin Angus Quartet, NY Andalus Ensemble, Megumi Saruhashi, Barbara Martinez, Adam Maalouf, Johanna Castañeda, and many more.

Jeremy has presented clinics and classes at the University of Michigan, Columbia University, and Bowling Green State University. He has presented online classes for students at Indiana University and Ithaca College. He received his Bachelor of Music degree from the Juilliard School.

We are thrilled to have Jeremy join our roster at The Percussion Conservatory where he will share his unique, valuable scope of knowledge and experience.
