Community Concert with Juilliard Alumni Jason Crimi

As part of our collaboration with the world’s leading performing arts institute we will be welcoming Juilliard alumni Jason Crimi to BIS HCMC on Tuesday 26th June. Jason is the Associate Principal Trombone of the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra and will be performing for both our Primary and Secondary school students during his visit. However, there will also be the unique opportunity to see Jason Crimi perform live with our students in a Community Concert from 6:30pm in the Secondary Campus auditorium. 

Jason Crimi has served as Associate Principal Trombone of the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra for nearly 12 years. He maintains an active schedule performing in orchestras and chamber groups. In addition to the SPO, he has performed with the Bavarian Radio Symphony, National Symphony Orchestra (DC), Boston Symphony, Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra, Singapore Symphony, Virginia Symphony and Macau Orchestra as well as numerous festivals. He was a founding member of the Continuum Brass Quintet, a group which has premiered many new works for Brass Quintet. In addition, he was formerly a frequent member of the Singco Rhythm Orchestra, an early jazz to WWII era jazz/swing group in the DC area. Teaching is also a major part of his life. In Korea he has taught at Seoul National University, Chugye University for the Arts, Chungang University as an Adjunct Professor and is in high demand as a clinician. Jason attended the Master's of Music program at the Juilliard School, and has degrees from the University of Maryland in Music Performance and Music Education. He was also a Tanglewood fellow and attended the National Orchestral Institute. His primary teachers include Joseph Alessi, Dr. Milton Stevens, Christopher Dudley and Charles Casey.

Juilliard - Nord Anglia Collaboration

The Juilliard School is a world leader in performing arts education. As we know, music can play a transformational role in children's education. The Juilliard-Nord Anglia Performing Arts Programme has been designed to give students a deep engagement with performing arts - promoting cultural literacy, creativity, critical thinking and collaboration.

It is because of this collaboration that our children gain access to Juilliard’s worldwide network of performers such as Jason Crimi. We have seen how working with teachers and artists of this calibre inspires young minds to achieve their dreams, and so we are very proud of our collaboration and the extra dimension it brings to our students.
