 Jason
C. Tramm,
Artistic Director
Jason C. Tramm is quickly
becoming recognized as one of the most dynamic young conductors on the music
scene today. Dr. Tramm founded the Summit Music Festival in 2002 and since
then the organization has been recognized as a leader in the New Jersey arts
community, presenting performances that have been acclaimed by the Star Ledger
and the Classical New Jersey publications.
Dr. Tramm is known in the musical
world as the Music Director of the New Jersey State Opera. In this position he
succeeds his principal mentor, the late Alfredo Silipigni. Serving as Chorus
Master under Maestro Silipigni, Dr. Tramm refined his knowledge of the Italian
style. In April of 2006 Dr. Tramm presented Verdi's Requiem in memory of Maestro
Silipigni, one critic noted that "Jason Tramm's leadership and conducting of the
Verdi Requiem shared many of the same qualities that made Alfredo Silipigni such
an admired rarity."
Dr. Tramm is also the Director of Music Ministries of the renowned Ocean
Grove Camp Meeting Association. In this capacity he oversees many exciting
performances including the Annual Choral Festival, which annually boasts over
1,000 singers, the annual Sacred Masterwork, and weekly services with the
Auditorium Choir. All of these events take place in the historic Great
Auditorium, built in 1894 which boasts over 6,500 seats and one of the largest
pipe organs in the world. This venue boasts performances by artists such as
Enrico Caruso, John McCormick, Philip Sousa, and many others. Dr. Tramm's has
also served as the Music Director for Coro Lirico
since 2006.
Education and working with young musicians has always been a central part
of Dr. Tramm's career. Having taught on the music faculties of both Rutgers and
Drew Universities, he has directed ensembles, both choral and orchestral, and
taught courses in conducting. He is also actively sought as a clinician and
regularly presents lectures. Dr. Tramm holds degrees in music from the Crane
School, the Hartt School, and a DMA in Conducting from Rutgers University, where
he was the recipient of their prestigious Presidential Fellowship. In 2003 he
joined the ranks of Metropolitan Opera Stars, Renee Flemming and Stephanie
Blythe in being honored with the Rising Star Award from the SUNY Potsdam Alumni
Association.
