Jonathan Cohler is recognized internationally as a
virtuoso clarinetist. Through his performances around the world
and on record, he has thrilled an ever widening audience with
his incredible musicianship and total technical command.
Fanfare magazine has compared him to one of the giants of
classical music—"one thinks of Dinu Lipatti"—and the magazine
dubbed Cohler's performance "superhuman." The Clarinet
magazine of the International Clarinet Association recently
declared Cohler "an absolute master of the clarinet, technically
and tonally." A highly acclaimed recording artist with an
extraordinarily wide repertoire, his release The Clarinet
Alone was a Nominee for the INDIE Award presented by the
Association for Independent Music (AFIM). About this CD,
American Record Guide remarked "Cohler is an amazing
musician—I suppose there is nothing he cannot play," while
Listener magazine said "Cohler possesses such musical
integrity and taste that everything he touches seems like the
last word…There is no other recording I know of as unique. Run,
don't walk!"
Cohler's most recently released CD on the Ongaku Records
label featuring the Messiaen Quartet for the End of Time
has received rave reviews. His release of Moonflowers, Baby!,
on Crystal Records, received the "Outstanding Recording" mark
from American Record Guide and Gramophone
hailed it for Cohler's expression of "the poetry that lesser
artists miss." His release of More Cohler on Clarinet
was chosen for BBC Music Magazine's Best CDs
of The Year. And his debut solo recording Cohler on Clarinet
received resounding acclaim, including the coveted top rating of
five stars for both sound and performance from BBC Music
Magazine. BBC Music Magazine also featured a CD by
Cohler attached to the cover of the magazine, which was
distributed to more than 350,000 people worldwide.
In addition to his work as a soloist, Cohler is an active
chamber musician and conductor. He collaborates frequently with
many well-known musicians and ensembles, including members of
the Emerson String Quartet, the Muir String Quartet, The Lark
Quartet, The Moscow Conservatory Trio, The Amadeus Trio, The New
Jersey Chamber Music Society, The Boston Chamber Music Society,
The Wavehill Trio, Boris Berezovsky, Ilya Kaler, Andres Diaz,
Charles Neidich, Laurence Lesser, Randall Hodgkinson, and Judith
Gordon. Cohler is one of the most sought-after chamber music
coaches in the country. Numerous groups that he has coached have
won top prizes in the National Fischoff Chamber Music
Competition, the Coleman Chamber Music Competition, and the
Chamber Music Foundation of New England Competition, among
others.
Cohler has toured the United States, Japan, Europe, China,
Poland, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Mexico, and Cuba, and
performed at many festivals including those of Tanglewood,
Aspen, Rockport, Newport, Martha's Vineyard, and the Hamptons.
He has been a frequent invited performer at the International
Clarinet Association's annual ClarinetFest. He has been featured
on the prestigious Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concert Series in
Chicago. Recent concerto appearances include the Mozart
Concerto with the Santo Andre Orchestra in Brasil and the
Copland Concerto with the Evergreen Orchestra at the
National Concert Hall of Taiwan in Taipei. Recent conducting
engagements include Shostakovich Symphony No. 5 with
the Simon Bolivar Orchestra in Caracas, Venezuela,
and Tchaikovsky The Nutcracker with the Indian Hill
Orchestra (Groton, Massachusetts) and the Granite State Ballet
Company (New Hampshire).
Cohler is the Music Director of the Massachusetts
Philharmonic Orchestra, Assistant Conductor of the Youth
Philharmonic Orchestra of New England Conservatory, and
Founder/Artistic Director of the world renowned International
Woodwind Festival. For ten years, he was the Music Director of
the Brockton Symphony Orchestra. Born in Boston, Cohler began
his musical studies at the age of six. Cohler's teachers include
legendary Boston Symphony Orchestra clarinetist Pasquale
Cardillo, Harold Wright, Karl Leister, Charles Neidich and Frank
Martin.
Cohler graduated with high honors in physics from Harvard
University. In his first year at Harvard, he won a fellowship to
the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra, of which he was the
youngest member. He also held the principal clarinet position of
the Colorado Philharmonic Orchestra. He is a member of the
clarinet, chamber music and conducting faculties of the Longy
School of Music in Cambridge, the Boston Conservatory, and New
England Conservatory in Boston. Cohler is a Vandoren and Rossi
artist.
The Bach Society Orchestra,
Harvard's premier chamber orchestra, is devoted to
the study and performance of works for chamber
orchestra. This includes intimate chamber pieces as
well as mid-sized symphonies, taken from an eclectic
set of historical periods. Each season involves
several performances at Harvard, often featuring
collaborations with student guest soloists or
Harvard choral groups.
Popularly known as
BachSoc, the Bach Society
Orchestra is staffed, managed, and conducted
entirely by students. Each year, the members of the
orchestra select a student - always an undergraduate
- to be their conductor for the following year. In
turn, at the beginning of the new year the
inaugurated conductor reauditions every member of
the orchestra, ensuring that the quality of the
orchestra remains high. BachSoc's rehearsals provide
a refreshingly egalitarian ethos combined with the
highest standards of musical performance.
The Bach Society
Orchestra has been an official undergraduate
organization of the University since the 1954-5
academic school year. At its founding, the orchestra
loosely devoted itself to performing the music of
J.S. Bach; since then, the repertoire has grown to
span the historical continuum from baroque to the
contemporary. The orchestra's annual composition and
concerto competitions have become respected
institutions of the Harvard music scene. Alumni
include cellist Yo-Yo Ma, composers John Adams and
John Harbison, conductors Alan Gilbert, Isaiah
Jackson, Christopher Wilkins, Hugh Wolff, and Samuel
Wong, and members of top American symphony
orchestras.

Jazz Festival
The Buddy DeFranco Jazz Festival is a
non-competitive, educational event. High school and
college jazz bands perform every 30 minutes
throughout both days and receive written comments
from the guest clinicians. Immediately following its
performance, each band will have an opportunity to
work for 30 minutes with one of the clinicians in
another location. This is a change from previous
years that we hope will be more beneficial for the
visiting bands and directors.It is
possible to receive a numerical rating upon request.
Also, Outstanding Soloist Awards will be given to
deserving soloists from the daytime performances.
They will be presented during the Saturday night
concert. This adds an element of excitement to the
festivities and recognizes superior individual
achievement without creating a competitive
atmosphere.
Each group registration fee of $200 includes
the adjudication, an audio tape of the performance
and access to clinics and the daytime performances.
Evening concert reserve tickets can be purchased
separately. Information about a special discount for
concert tickets will be sent to you upon receipt of
your registration form.
The deadline for registration is April 1,
2011. To participate please fill out the
registration form and return to:
Lance Boyd, University of Montana School of
Music, 32 Campus Drive, Music Bldg. Rm.
