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.
