Summary
Jonas Schoen-Philbert is a veteran saxophonist, composer and professor of jazz saxophone and composition at Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover, combining four decades of performance with over 20 years in academia. He leads the Jonas Schoen Quartett, has six CD releases on his own label and extensive arranging and directing credits with major German big bands and orchestras. Equally at home in jazz, theatre and modern orchestral composition, he pursues a rigorous yet accessible compositional approach focused on symmetrical harmony and the balance of musical parameters. A multi-instrumentalist who doubles on clarinets, flute and bandoneon, he brings practical performance insight to pedagogy and software-informed music didactics from work with Uberchord. Based in Berlin, Jonas is known for a "nothing-ever-works-twice" mindset that fuels continual exploration and deep structural mastery across genres.
