Jared Redmond

about

Jared Redmond is a pianist-composer based in the San Francisco Bay Area and Seoul. In his performances, he is known for combining historical repertoire, especially underplayed masterworks, alongside contemporary music. His repertoire stretches from music of the 16th through 21st centuries, and he has appeared as a piano soloist throughout North America, Europe, and East Asia.

As a composer, he writes for diverse new music soloists and chamber ensembles, and develops experimental works and new notation systems for Korean traditional performers. Jared’s works deal especially with poetic and historical allusion, expressive microtonalism, and increasingly, music for the piano.

Recent appearances include many performances of Scriabin, a composer to whom he is especially devoted. Jared performed the Piano Concerto with Vallejo Symphony, and many late Scriabin works during a Northern California tour in 2024. He recently presented diverse programs, ranging from the Renaissance to the modern avant-garde, throughout Korea as part of his “Wunderkammer” series, devoted to underplayed music unified by historical and aesthetic themes.

Jared also performs as part of ensembles Ehnahre (USA), Geori (Korea), and Beheaded (Korea). He holds degrees from Brandeis University (Ph.D., M.F.A.) and the University of California at Berkeley (B.A.), and has been a researcher at the Academy of Korean studies and the Kyujanggak Institute of Seoul National University. From 2018-20 Jared was Visiting Scholar-Professor of Composition and Music Theory at Hanyang University. He currently teaches at the Seoul National University School of Music.
