Will grew up performing in his hometown of Saint Paul, Minnesota, and pursued jazz and classical music at Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan before earning a B.F.A. at the California Institute of the Arts in 2019. He enjoyed a burgeoning career in Los Angeles before returning to Minnesota to weather the pandemic. In 2022 he moved to New York, having received an invitation to the Juilliard Jazz program. When he’s not on the road, Will is currently focused on producing and releasing his own music. His current projects include the Will Kjeer Trio, a jazz quintet with folk crossover; and a jazz/classical chamber ensemble featuring string quartet. He has collaborated for the past three years with Midwest folk icon Larry Long, often referred to as “the Pete Seeger of Minnesota.” Will is an active music educator and has been a clinician at Lincoln Center, California State University Fullerton, the Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists, and Shell Lake Arts Center, in addition to his private studio. He specializes in advanced jazz piano, as well as audition preparation lessons
