“Possessing a confidence and grace that comes from somewhere beyond experience” (Arizona Daily Star), internationally acclaimed saxophonist and recording artist Jonathan Wintringham emerged as a leading performer of his generation through first-place awards in more than twenty competitions and over three-hundred concert appearances worldwide. He received the S&R Foundation’s Washington Award for “dynamism, vision, and exceptional creativity,” primarily for his artistic efforts on an international scale.

Dr. Wintringham is a highly sought-after performer and educator, leading to recitals, master classes, and residencies at musical institutions worldwide, including the Eastman School of Music, London College of Music (England), Xinghai, Central, and Shanghai Conservatories (China), Kunitachi College of Music (Japan), and more. He was the first classical saxophonist to be featured on American Public Media's Performance Today: Young Artists in Residence, and was interviewed and invited to perform for several other television and radio shows including FOX News, WXXI, KLPX, and KUAT Television. Wintringham’s debut CD, Walimai, has been broadcast internationally, including on England’s BBC and Japan’s FMN1, and is available on the Equilibrium (Albany) label.

Guided by a strong desire to collaborate with living composers, Jonathan has contributed to the addition of over forty new works for saxophone.

 “A TRIO OF MASTERY…the appreciative crowd roared their approval for not only the talent of saxophonist Jonathan Wintringham but his fellow musicians cellist Clancy Newman and pianist Michael Djupstrom as well.

We decided to put together our own take on ‘Tiny Desk Concerts’ here in Philadelphia to share this music with a larger community. We hope you enjoy the resulting series of videos, beginning with the first of a three-movement medley featuring the music of Hiromi Uehara.

More videos to come! Including music by Takashi Yoshimatsu, our own composer/performers Michael Djupstrom and Clancy Newman, and more Hiromi!
