Jeremy Reinhold

 
 

Jeremy Reinhold is a composer and pianist living and working in Portland, Oregon.  A Portland native, he returned home after performing and teaching around the world for several years.  He has previously lived and worked in Seattle, Boston, San Francisco, Athens, Greece, and Tokyo, Japan.


He writes music for film, television, theatre, and dance.  His commercial works have been used around the world by Saab, L’Occitane, NHK (Japanese national TV), the Portland Winter Lights Festival, and many others.


His original concert music blurs the line between genres and crosses over from the familiar to the strange, from lush romanticism to bold modernity.  His works have been premiered by such groups as the Kalistos Chamber Orchestra and the Esterhazy String Quartet and have been performed across the United States; in Canada, France, Brazil, and even in international waters!


He has played piano professionally for The Portland Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, K-Ballet (Japan), Oregon Ballet Theatre, Harvard University, UC Berkeley, and many other dance programs, working with many great choreographers and dancers.  He has accompanied dance classes since 2001 and is a lover of contemporary ballet.


Jeremy worked in the education department of the Seattle Symphony from 2001-2005.  He maintains an active interest in arts education and is dedicated to bringing quality music to young people.  With that in mind, he founded the Reinhold School of Music in Portland in 2014.


From 2001-2005, Jeremy composed and performed with the Fremont Philharmonic and created original music for the Cirque de Flambe, the Fremont Players, and The Moisture Festival.


As a performer and arranger, Jeremy collaborates regularly with Brian Vogan, playing sophisticated, silly music for children.
