Jeremy Edelstein

Jeremy Edelstein lives a varied life as a conductor, singer, composer, and writer based in Seattle, WA. He is committed to curating concert experiences that tell stories reflecting the world we live in, and collaborates regularly across disciplines, genres, and art forms. Currently, he serves as artistic director of the Northwest Chamber Chorus, and founded the Twinbird Project, a flexible vocal ensemble interested in presenting innovative concert programs in unconventional spaces. A fierce advocate for new music, Edelstein has performed several world and regional premieres, and always aims to champion new and diverse voices in his programming. 

He also serves as a staff singer and secondary conductor at Blessed Sacrament, a professional core singer with Harmonia Chorus and Orchestra, sings with the Evensong choir at Epiphany Seattle, and has regularly prepared Seattle’s Renaissance choir, Sine Nomine. He loves seeing the mountains from his living room window, he has started dozens of books this year but only finished a meager number, and he weighs out his coffee beans every morning before brewing a cup. He holds a master’s in choral conducting from Northwestern, studying with Grammy-winner Donald Nally, and degrees in English and music education from Penn State. Other mentors and conducting teachers include Bert Pinsonneault, Christopher Kiver, Paul Rardin, Matthew Halls, and Simon Carrington.
