Jonathan has held tenure with The Brandywine Singers since 2004. Under his leadership, the group has become the premier choral arts ensemble of Chester County. Jonathan’s artistic influence on the group has been lauded for his exceptional choices in programming. He has made an effort to provide audiences with more exposure to 20th century choral music by producing programs heavy with composers such as Barber, Copland, Vaughan Williams, Orff, and Bernstein. This also includes a commissioned work in the spring of 2013 by Jennifer Brandon and in the fall of 2017 by Robert Maggio.

Jonathan started this academic year in a new role as the Director of Choral Studies at Henderson High School in the West Chester Area School District. He also served as choral director at E.N.

The Sanctuary Choir has performed an extensive list of repertoire, including Schubert’s Mass in G, Haydn’s Te Deum, Bach Cantatas 80 and 140, and the Rutter Requiem and Magnificat.

Since 2007, Jonathan has held the position of music director for the Ocean City Theatre Company, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing the highest caliber of talent to summer entertainment at the New Jersey shore. He has collaborated in over 18 professional productions, and has extensive accompanying credits, including Broadway actors such as Robert Cuccioli, Kate Shindle, Annie Golden, Kelli Rabke, Kimberly Marable and Julia Murney.
