Bass Guitar with Jonathan R.

I am currently a section bassist in both the Grand Rapids Symphony and Lansing Symphony Orchestra. I recently completed my fellowship at the New World Symphony Orchestral Training Academy in Miami Beach, FL where I worked regularly with the world’s best conductors (e.g. Michael Tilson-Thomas), soloists, and young musicians. I have a lot of orchestral experience going back to 2006 with groups such as the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, Royal Swedish Opera, San Antonio Symphony, Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra, Ann Arbor Symphony, West Michigan Symphony, Southwest Michigan Symphony, and Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra among others. I have toured Italy, Germany, China, Canada and Austria on orchestral tours and have even performed a concerto in Carnegie Hall in NYC! I have a strong passion for historical performance, studying music of the Renaissance and Baroque period primarily through my taking up of the viola da gamba. I listen to and appreciate all kinds of music though I’d say classical, jazz, bluegrass, funk, and folk are my jam. Please feel free to check out my LinkenIn and website listed below. I look forward to meeting and working with you!
