Corey Jamason

Guest Conductor

Picture of Corey  JamasonCorey Jamason, harpsichordist and conductor, is an active soloist and chamber music collaborator throughout the United States and Europe. About a recent performance the Los Angeles Times wrote, "Jamason's clear-headed performance of the Italian Concerto rang in our ears....(he) navigated easily through the work's contrapuntal maze and gave it the careful, due balance of objective detachment and lofty passion." Jamason has appeared numerous times on NPR's Performance Today and has performed the Goldberg Variations and the Well-Tempered Clavier throughout the United States. Chamber music collaborations have included performances with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Wieland Kuijken, Eva Legne, Eliot Fisk, and Marion Verbruggen. With the ensemble Camerata Pacifica, Jamason has directed for many seasons concerts of early music throughout Southern California. He has appeared as a concerto soloist with American Bach Soloists, Musica Angelica, Camerata Pacifica, and in collaboration with Joseph Silverstein at the Music in the Vineyards Festival. He has performed with a variety of other ensembles including Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, El Mundo, and with members of the Bach Aria Group as well as festival appearances including the Berkeley and Bloomington Early Music Festivals, Bach Aria Festival, San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival, Whidbey Island Chamber Music Festival, and the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival. In the 2006-2007 season he will appear with LA Opera in their production of L'incoronazione di Poppea. Jamason also co-directs the ensemble Theatre Comique, which specializes in recreating late nineteenth and early twentieth century American musical theatre.

Born in New York City, he received degrees in music from SUNY College at Purchase, Yale University, where he was a student of Richard Rephann, and from Indiana University's Early Music Institute, where he received a Doctor of Music degree. Recent recordings include performances with the violinist Gilles Apap, El Mundo, and with American Bach Soloists. Since 2001 he has been a member of the faculty of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
