Samling Artist, pianist Jonathan Ware, took part in Samling Artist Programme in 2013.
With only two days to go until the Samling Showcase at Wigmore Hall, today sees our final profile of the Samling Artists who are taking part – YCAT Artist, pianist Jonathan Ware.
Jonathan studied at the Eastman School of Music, The Juilliard School and the Hochschule für Musik ‘Hanns Eisler’ in Berlin. He won 1st Prize at the 2014 Stuttgart Song Competition with baritone Ludwig Mittelhammer.
His recent reviews have said:
“How Ware forms words into the keys in his piano preludes and (especially) postludes, how his fine sound positively creeps into the words, and how he, for instance, advances the strophic and musical dénouement in Goethe’s “Ganymed”: This is thrilling sorcery. A great future is wished to the duo, and as broad an audience as possible.”

and
“Jonathan Ware showed himself as the best text painter among the keyboard artists, and he fitted excellently with the extroverted and highly theatrical baritone Ludwig Mittelhammer, who made a small drama from each song.”
