Jeremy Reinhold

 
 

Jeremy Reinhold is a pianist and composer living and working in Fukuoka, Japan.  He has previously lived, worked, and studied in Portland, Seattle, Boston, San Francisco, and Athens, Greece.


He currently plays piano for the K-Ballet School in Fukuoka (Director:  Tetsuya Kumakawa).  He has played piano professionally for San Francisco Ballet, Harvard University, UC Berkeley, and many other dance programs, working with many top choreographers and dancers, including Wade Walthall, star of the “Nutcracker:  The Motion Picture.”  He has accompanied dance classes since 2001 and is a lover of contemporary ballet.


His original music blurs the line between genres and crosses over from the familiar to the strange, from lush romanticism to bold modernity.  Jeremy enjoys collaboration in fields outside of music and has composed for film, theater, and dance.  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!


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.


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.  In 2010 and 2011, the band played at the Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle, Washington.
