Jonathan is a versatile artist,
having performed professionally for the last decade in the areas of piano, voice, acting, accompanying, and musical direction. After graduating from the State University of New York at Oswego in 2009, he moved to New York City to pursue a career in singing, but has done much more than just that.
From readings of new plays at the Actor's Studio to comedic roles like Papageno in The Magic Flute, dramatic roles like Giorgio in Passion, spending three years as Amore Opera's pianist for their Kid's Academy, and creating roles in new musicals and debuting operas at Theater for the New City, he has helped himself voraciously to the creative smorgasbord that is New York, New York. His broad range of creative passions garner him unique insight which he brings to every rehearsal, performance, or lesson he gives.
