Jerome de los Santos

Originally from Los Angeles, pianist Jerome de los Santos is noted for his passionate and deeply personal approach to performance. Based in Montreal, he holds degrees from the Schulich School of Music of McGill University and the Cleveland Institute of Music, and has received further training at the Aspen Music Festival and School, Todi International Music Masters, MusicFest Perugia, and the Académie internationale vocale de Lachine. A collaborator by nature, Jerome’s affinity for exploring language and music has led him to a wide-ranging career in opera, art song, music theatre, dance, and other forms. He is in demand as a ballet pianist and serves as a member of the music staff for Ballet Divertimento and Les Grands Ballets canadiens. He has been featured in concert with McGill’s Schulich Singers across Ontario and Quebec, including at Canada’s National Arts Centre. His teachers include Ilya Polataev, Michael McMahon, Olivier Godin, Daniel Shapiro and Lucy Nargizyan. Jerome is an artist-in-residence at the Atelier lyrique de l’Opéra de Montréal.
