Joseph Jones

Joseph Jones began studying the bassoon at age 12 when his piano teacher suggested: "Joey, you might be good at the bassoon." Some years and many concerts later, Joe works as a bassoonist performing throughout the country and occasionally around the world. 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). Ensembles he has worked with include The English Concert, ACRONYM, Boston Early Music Festival, Early Music New York, American Bach Soloists, the Bermuda Philharmonic, Lyra Baroque Orchestra, and Les Arts Florissants at the festival Dans les Jardins de William Christie in Thiré, France. Joe is a graduate of The Juilliard School’s historical performance program, as well as the University of Minnesota and Utah State University.
