 ABOUT THE CONDUCTOR

JEREMY VAN HOY is presently bass trombonist with the Colorado Springs Philharmonic,
Boulder Philharmonic and the Denver Brass. After growing up in Detroit, he received music
performance degrees from the University of Michigan (B.M.) and Northwestern University
(M.M.). His teachers were Fritz Kaenzig and Frank Crisafulli, respectively. As euphonium
soloist, Mr. Van Hoy has performed with the Denver Municipal Band, Denver Brass, Ann Arbor
Chamber Brass, Boulder Brass, Colorado College Band and the Livonia (MI) Symphony. In
1996, he was the 1st Prize winner at the Leonard Falcone International Euphonium Competition.
Other accomplishments include being the first bass trombonist selected to the Tanglewood Music
Center twice, and selection to the Sir Georg Solti Orchestral Project at Carnegie Hall. This last
orchestra can be heard on a London Records compact disc. Mr. Van Hoy is an active free-lancer,
having performed frequently with the Detroit, St. Louis, New Mexico and Colorado Symphonies.
An active proponent of new music, Mr. Van Hoy gave his New York recital debut on April 5,
1998 in Merkin Concert Hall. This program featured five works written especially for the
soloist. During the 2004-05 school year, he was instructor of euphonium at the University of
Colorado-Boulder, holding a one-year position. In September 2008, Jeremy became the director
of the Colorado College Concert Band. You can also hear him play horns and keyboard with
local band, Edith Makes A Paperchain.
