JOSEPH JONES

Joseph Jones

Joseph Jones began studying bassoon at age 12 when his piano teacher suggested: "Joey, you might be good at the bassoon." Some years and many concerts later, Joe is a bassoonist performing throughout the country and occasionally around the world.

Ensembles he’s worked with include: The English Concert, The Sebastians, Brecon Baroque, Boston Early Music Festival, American Bach Soloists, and more. His playing has been praised for its "warm singing tone," and once while performing a Vivaldi concerto he "proved he could easily break the four-minute mile without missing a note" (Star Tribune). Committed to education, Joe was a Morse Teaching Fellow during his studies at The Juilliard School, and a Class Notes Artist with Lyra Baroque Orchestra through Minnesota Public Radio.
