Rockland Conductor Excited to Make Beautiful Music at Carnegie Hall

By Rick Pezzullo For Jason C. Tramm, his love of music began before he learned how to walk. “I was born singing, much to the consternation of my three brothers,” said Tramm, a resident of Valley Cottage. “I first sang as a soloist in my church (at age five), Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in West Nyack. I have felt the deepest connection to music for as long as I can remember. I love to move people’s emotions as only music can!” A graduate of Clarkstown South High School, where his four children also later attended, Tramm has made music a central part of his life as a teacher at Seton Hall University, a professional conductor for more than 25 years and a leader of regional opera and choral organizations. “My love of music came first, and teaching grew naturally out of the desire to share that excitement with others. I see conducting as a form of teaching,” Tramm explained.
