. . . shapes my
life.
JONATHAN CARNEY
CONCERTMASTER
“I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t a musician,” says
Jonathan Carney. “My earliest memories of music in my life were
the times I fell asleep under the piano listening to my parents
and siblings reading chamber music into the wee hours of the
morning. Music and practicing were constants in our house,
as there were so many people needing to practice.” Yet music
has influenced him in more ways than performance alone.
“As a collaborative endeavor, music has helped me learn to
listen to other people’s ideas. It has taught me how to focus
and problem solve. And, through travel, it has exposed me to
many wonderful people and cultures.”
