The Art of Music: Bob Hamilton & Jeremie Levi Samson

Bob Hamilton & Jeremie Levi Samson – A Little Bit of Everything
January 11, 2024 @ 6:00 – 7:30 pm

Sponsored by Victory & Richard Grund

Jeremie Levi Samson was born in Paris into a family of professional musicians. He began playing the piano at the age of two, having been taught by his mother and grandmother, both being professional pianists. But it was during the occasional encounters with his violinist uncle that brought him to his instrument of choice – the violin, which he began learning from the age of 7. He went on to attend the Conservatory of Saint-Maur and the Lille Conservatory where he won awards and graduated with honors, having trained under musical greats such as Wacheux Bernard, Julien Vanhoutte and Radu Blidar. After two years of studying Jazz with Yves Torchinsky, Gilles Cagin, Cyril Wambergue and Jean François Canape, Jeremiah Levi-Samson created the Gypsy Jazz quintet Swingin’ Partout, with which he was twice a finalist in the International Competition of Ensemble Musiques de Paris. He also won the competition of the Oignies Multijazz Festival, received radio and TV play on France 3, Bandsport, Wéo, Radio France, France Musiques, France Bleu Nord, Campus Radio, and Radio Boomrang. Jeremie continued his studies at the Conservatory and Academy of Music Tibor Varga in Sion, Switzerland, where he studied classical violin with Yolande Leroy. He received a Master’s in Music Theory. Jeremie has played extensively throughout the world, performing throughout Europe, the United States, South Korea, and Mexico. He is known for his Jazz violin, particularly in the “Gypsy Jazz” genre made popular by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grapelli.
