Meet the New Students: Jamison Hillian
Jamison Hillian has just entered Curtis with the 2018 incoming class. He’s an oboist from Chesterfield, S.C., who started playing the saxophone at age 11, switching to the oboe at 14. Below, he shares some thoughts about coming to Curtis. Join us in welcoming Jamison and all of our new students to the Curtis family!
What has been your most important musical experience until now?
Seeing and hearing so many different people in the various practice rooms. It is inspiring and comforting to see so many people working towards the same thing you are.
Tell me about the most interesting, surprising, or funny thing that happened to you in your first week here.
It was very interesting to meet so many people from different countries and parts of the world. At home there isn’t much cultural diversity so it was very fun to hear about theirs and explain mine.
What are you looking forward to most about attending Curtis?
I am really looking forward to studying with Richard Woodhams.
Welcome, Jamison!
