PCA Cello Master Class with Bryan Jones

I think the kids would agree that this master class was very informative, but also entertaining.
I want to thank Mr. Jones for taking time out of his schedule to share with us the secrets of Baroque Historical Performance. Excerpts handed out were taken from Mary Cyr, " Performing Baroque Music".



Bryan W. Jones was born in the metropolitan area of Atlanta, where he also began his study of the oboe with Ruth Murray. He left Georgia for Winston-Salem, NC where he received his B.M. (Oboe Performance) at the North Carolina School of the Arts. While at NCSA he studied with John Ellis. Mr. Jones was awarded the M.M. degree (Historical Performance) at Boston University in 2005. While there he studied with baroque oboist Marc Schachman. His West Indian heritage led him to present an orchestrated version of the oratorio Jonah by Jamaican composer Samuel Felsted. In the 2006-2007 he will lead the Samuel Felsted Project in performances of the work in Boston, NYC and Philadelphia. Mr. Jones has performed as soloist with the BU Baroque Orchestra and in the oboe sections of Early Music New York, The Vox Consort (Boston), The Amherst Early Music Festival Academy Orchestra, New Trinity Baroque (Atlanta) and Collegium Musicum Bach (Mexico City) as well as various chamber groups. He has played under many esteemed conductors including Martin Pearlman, Andrew Lawrence-King, Frederick Renz, James Richman, and Predrag Gosta.
