About The Artist
Jonathan's research integrates the histories of music pedagogy, theory, publishing, and economics to illuminate the ways that material concerns have both inspired and constrained artistic choices. They recently presented a lecture-recital on the role of violin duos in the career of Louis Spohr as well as a recital of French Baroque music for the Boston Early Music Festival Online Fringe Concerts. Before moving to Cleveland in the middle of a pandemic, Jonathan spent several years teaching at Bard High School Early College in Manhattan and performing throughout the Northeast. Jonathan directed the BHSEC Chamber Ensemble, which performed a vast array of music including works by Lully, Bach, and Haydn with period bows; excerpts from Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire with student choreographies developed in a workshop with Meredith Monk; and premieres of student compositions on nearly every concert. Jonathan has served as concertmaster for period orchestras in performances including Handel's Samson and Messiah, Vivaldi's Teuzzone, and led the string band in many of Continuo Collective New York's 17th-century opera projects. Jonathan is a PhD student in Musicology at Case Western Reserve University and also serves as General Manager for Trobár.
