Jon Rose is an Australian violinist born in the UK in 1951.[1] Rosenberg began playing violin at age 7 after winning a music scholarship to King's School in Rochester. For over 35 years, Rosenberg has been at the sharp end of new, improvised, and experimental music and media.
A polymath, Rose is at much at home creating large environmental multi-media works as he is playing the violin on a concert stage. Central to this practice has been 'The Relative Violin' project, a unique output, rich in content, realising almost everything on, with, and about the violin and string music in general. Most celebrated is the worldwide Fence project; least known are the relative violins created specifically for and in Australia. Part of this performance will be a video / violin performance from this project.
Rose is also a famous free-improvisor: he has appeared on over 60 albums, and worked with artists such as Kronos Quartet, Derek Bailey, Fred Frith, Shelley Hirsh, Chris Cutler, Otomo Yoshihide, KK Null, Alvin Curran, Evan Parker, Phil Minton, John Cage, Tony Oxley, Steve Beresford, Eugene Chadbourne, Bob Ostertag, Jim Denley, Elliott Sharp, George Lewis, Christian Marclay, Toshinori Kondo, Joelle Leandre, Frances-Marie Uitti, Barre Phillips, and John Zorn.
Rose has had a long and rich history with Baltimore experimental music, having performed many times at the Red Room, High Zero, and in collaboration with Baltimore improvisors. He will peform solo and with Baltimore improvisors that will be annouced here in the coming months.
In this concert he will play solo and in free improvising ensemble with Neil Feather (inventions), Susan Alcorn (pedal steel), and Dan Breen (drums)--a super group of unusual Baltimore improvisors.
