Jason Ham - Euphonium
Now in his seventh year with the West Point Band, Jason Ham has established himself as one of America's most active euphonium soloists. Originally from Columbia, South Carolina, Jason began his studies of the euphonium in high school, garnering many local and state awards for his playing. Jason attended college at the University of Georgia where he studied under the late Dr. David Randolph and David Zerkel. While at the University of Georgia, Jason was the winner of the Atlanta Brass Society Collegiate Soloist Competition (1998), as well as a finalist in the Music Teacher's National Association Competition (2000). In June of 2001, just before completing his studies at UGA, Jason won a position with the United States Military Academy Band, to be followed by his winning the Solo Euphonium Artist Competition at the International Tuba and Euphonium Conference just two months later. (Lahti, Finland). Jason has twice been invited to judge this competition, both in 2004 (Budapest, Hungary), and 2006 (Denver, Colorado, USA).
Today, Jason is being recognized as a pioneer of the euphonium, having already taken the instrument to many places that have never seen the instrument in a solo role. In October 2004, Jason participated in the first military to military musical interaction between the nations of the United States and China when he performed with the People's Liberation Army Band in Beijing. It was the first time that a euphonium had ever been seen in a solo role in that city. In July of 2005, Jason gave the first-ever solo recitals of the euphonium in the nations of Macedonia and Bulgaria. During his visit, his performances were heard on Bulgarian Public Radio and Macedonian Public Television. In September of 2007, he was the first-ever American euphonium soloist to appear in the nation of Argentina, performing at the Encuentro de Tubas y Eufonios, held in Buenos Aires.
Recent accomplishments have included his appointment as visiting professor of euphonium at Montclair State University, as well as being named as the Valade Fellow in Euphonium at the Interlochen Summer Arts Camp in northern Michigan. Additionally, he is active in commissioning new works by leading wind band composers, including concertos by Joseph Turrin (2006) and David Gillingham (2008). Further commissions are in the works in collaboration with Johann de Meij, Peter Meechan, and Amanda Harburg.
Jason made his solo debut in Carnegie Hall in April of 2009, playing the concerto
