About Hans Patrick Grim
I am a versatile and passionate musician based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, dedicated to creating meaningful musical experiences that resonate with both performers and audiences. My work spans choral conducting, collaborative piano, vocal performance, and musical theatre direction.
Over the years, I’ve served as a choir director in Fort Worth ISD, the Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts, and Alvarado ISD, where I continue to inspire students through vibrant, inclusive music-making. I also enjoy an active professional performance life, having played in multiple appearances with the national tour of Mamma Mia! and now preparing for my seventh production with Lyric Stage in Dallas.
Currently, I serve as the assistant conductor for the Dallas Symphony Children’s Chorus, collaborating with Ms. Ellie Lin and supporting the ensemble through piano and organ accompaniment. One of my recent highlights was arranging and music directing a full concert of choral music for DSO string players—a deeply rewarding project that brought my love of orchestration and choral music together onstage.
This past summer, I joined the faculty at Interlochen Center for the Arts, working with gifted high school performers on their production of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical and a songwriting intensive. The experience was both professionally invigorating and personally meaningful, reaffirming my commitment to mentoring young artists.
In addition to my educational and professional work, I am the music director at Faith Presbyterian Church in Aledo and a regular pianist for Beth-El Congregation, a Reform Jewish synagogue in Fort Worth. I also guest direct with the Great Lands Choral Society 神州合唱團.
I hold a Master of Music Education from Tarleton State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Texas Wesleyan University. I recently had the opportunity to study musical theatre conducting with Maestro Ted Sperling at NYU—an experience that continues to inform my work on the podium and at the piano.
Whether leading from the podium, accompanying from the bench, or collaborating behind the scenes, my mission is simple: to make beautiful music—and help others do the same.old
