 8276" align="alignleft" width="300"] Clarinetist\, Jonathan Russell. Photo
  by Molly Decoudreaux[/caption]\n\nJonathan Russell (b. 1979) creates musi
 c by turns tender and fierce\, playful and profound\, raw and refined\, pr
 opulsive and still. In his work\, he seeks to embody and express the full 
 range of human experience in a way that speaks directly to people’s hear
 ts\, minds\, and bodies. The extraordinary sound and spirit of the bass cl
 arinet is a driving force behind much of Jonathan’s compositional work. 
 His numerous compositions for bass clarinet(s) include solo works\, sonata
 s\, concertos\, duets\, trios\, quartets\, chamber works\, and large bass 
 clarinet ensembles. He was a longtime member of the Edmund Welles bass cla
 rinet quartet\, is a current member of the Sqwonk bass clarinet duo\, and 
 is founder and leader of Improbable Beasts\, a professional 15-member bass
  clarinet ensemble in the Boston area. Many of Jonathan’s most meaningfu
 l projects have involved collaborations with or responses to other artists
 . He has composed music to accompany street art\, stained glass\, wood-car
 ving\, dance\, and film. As a performer\, Jonathan appears frequently as a
  bass clarinet soloist\, and as a classical and klezmer clarinetist. He is
  also a sought-after guest clinician in composition\, clarinet/bass clarin
 et\, and creative/unusual musical career paths. A card-carrying music theo
 ry nerd\, Jonathan’s doctoral dissertation is a 400+ page harmonic analy
 sis of the entire Rite of Spring. He lives in Cambridge\, Massachusetts\
 , with his wife and 5-year-old son. Visit www.jonrussellmusic.com for more
