Emil Jonason /Clarinet
Emil Jonason (b.1983) has recently emerged as one of the most talented musicians from the new generation of Swedish wind soloists. His charismatic and virtuosic playing has won him engagements as soloist with several professional orchestras, such as the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra and the Chamber Orchestra Kremlin in Moscow a.o.
He is an accomplished chamber musician and recently toured in China with the Stockholm Chamber Trio in collaboration with Concerts Sweden, and in 2008 he was chosen to represent Sweden in EBU New Talent.
In 2004, Emil Jonason participated in Lions Europe’s Musical Solist Interpretation Prize in Rome, as the first Swedish competitor in this competition. Emil was awarded the special prize Prize of the 21st century piece for his performance of the work Searching – for solo clarinet by Danish composer Andy Pape. Other merits in competitions include the first prize in the Yamaha Music Foundation of Europe Competition as well as the Solofoni Prize, awarded by the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra.
Emil received his education at the Royal University College of Music in Stockholm, and completed his studies with a Soloist Diploma under the tutelage of world-renowned clarinetist Martin Fröst. In addition to this, he has studied with Professor Yehuda Gilad at the University of Southern California, USA.
Emil has always been fascinated and inspired by wild insistent rhythms and sounds of Klezmer- and Balkan music and has toured the world-music scene in Sweden and abroad with different groups; such as the bands AksakOrkestar and Stockholm Klezmer Quintet. |
