Jeremy
Flute, Music Theory

A recipient of the OCBC Local Undergraduate Scholarship, Jeremy graduated with First Class Honours in Flute from the joint degree program between the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and the Royal College of Music. He has played with The Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestra of the Music Makers, the Singapore Lyric Opera and also in the Singapore premiere of Richard Wagner’s “The Flying Dutchman ” in 2016.

Jeremy studied the flute with Roberto Álvarez and has played in the masterclasses of Michel Bellavance and Michael Cox. After clinching a 2nd prize in the Open Category of the Singapore Flute Festival Competition in 2017 he now maintains a schedule of teaching the flute in local schools and privately in his home studio. He is equally comfortable teaching children and adults of all levels, and believes that music-making should fundamentally be jolly and fun!

In his free time, Jeremy arranges music and often performs the arrangements with The Tango Sextet, a wind ensemble that he founded with his bandmates during National Service in the Singapore Police Force. Passionate about Russian culture, Jeremy is learning the Russian language and organizing “Music from the Soviet Era” concerts at
the Esplanade.
