About Jonah

From a young age, legendary cellist Janos Starker placed him at the “top of his generation”. At only 12 years of age, Jonah made his solo debut with Wolfgang Sawallisch and the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Washington Post hailed him as “the next Yo-Yo Ma” at his National Symphony debut. He has since performed on the world’s most prestigious stages.

In 2021, Jonah founded Trio Barclay with childhood friends Sean Kennard and Dennis Kim, ensemble-in-residence at the Barclay Theatre in Orange County. In 2024, Jonah was named artistic director of the Music Society of San Miguel, and he is founder and director of the San Francisco Music Festival.
