After hearing a flautist perform at her elementary school, Cathryn Jones asked about music lessons. Once she was shown the oboe by a family of musicians, she never turned back. Now, almost 20 years after entering the music world on a whim, oboist Cathryn Jones is now known for her evocative, dark, and almost European sound. Cathryn performs oboe and English horn with multiple groups throughout New York including the holding the principal oboist position in the Catskill symphony and subbing with the Albany Symphony and the Binghamton Philharmonic. She also teaches in and around the Albany, New York region, coaching and performing for younger students in local schools with hopes of keeping more students in the music programs.
Early performances with the Tampa Bay Youth Organization and Empire State Youth Orchestra expanded Cathryn’s orchestral repertoire and love for ensemble playing. These ensembles have provided her opportunity to perform at such notable venues as Carnegie Hall, Seiji Ozawa Hall at Tanglewood, and The Troy Saving Bank Music Hall. Cathryn has since worked with conductors Benjamin Zander, George Manahan, David Gilbert, and with Steven Osgood includes playing principal oboe for a performance of John Corigliano’s opera The Ghosts of Versailles at the Manhattan School of Music.
Cathryn’s chamber music experience includes performances at the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) with the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Woodwind Quintet, including a performance of the Carl Nielsen quintet on English horn, which pushed her to pursue chamber music further. She later won the Lillian Fuch’s Chamber Music Competition in 2012 at the Manhattan School of Music for a performance of the Paul Hindemith Kleine Kammermusik for wind quintet.
Cathryn Jones has studied with Robert Botti, Randall Ellis, Kathryn Hernandez, and Laurie Jalbert. She received her undergraduate degree for a bachelor of music for Oboe performance at the Manhattan School of Music in 2015. In her spare time, she loves taking pictures to capture the other beautiful art forms life has to offer.
