Chris Ramos
Doctoral Degree in Instrumental Conducting, '23
Chris Ramos ’23 knew from a young age that he wanted to be a conductor and that dream became a reality. After graduating with a doctoral degree in instrumental conducting from The Hartt School, he secured a position as the director of bands at Utah Valley University.
He credits The Hartt School’s hands-on, supportive environment for shaping his artistry and professional growth. He says opportunities to teach, present internationally, and collaborate with renowned guest artists helped him build a strong foundation allowed him to turn his dream and passion for music into a thriving career.
My teachers and colleagues pushed me to be able to do more and be better than I could dream for myself. They not only helped me to see that potential, but they also led me there.
