Jon is a highly-skilled arranger and orchestrator with numerous arrangements for strings, orchestral reductions, reorchestrations and simplified editions for youth ensembles to his name. Jon's arrangements have been performed as part of MiSST Symphony Orchestra concerts and residentials and in adult/professional concerts in London and the North West. Recent reworkings include Brahms 'Geistliches Lied' and Britten 'Rejoice in the Lamb' for string quintet (or string orchestra) and choir, and orchestral reductions of movements of Holst 'The Planets' for chamber orchestra.​

 

Presently, Jon's compositional output is primarily focused on MultiCelli, working in collaboration with composer Oliver Mayo to write multi-tracked works for cello with Jon as the sole performer. MultiCelli frequently takes inspiration from nature and landscapes — almost all sounds are created organically from the cello and they experiment with innovative techniques and articulations, coupled with digital effects, to achieve their desired sound. 2 production albums and four singles have been released so far, the first of which (Pacific) was featured on Scala Radio as Hannah Cox's "Ambient Track of the Week". To listen to some of my music, please click below: ​​​​​
