JONATHAN DAVIS plays regularly with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Pacific Symphony, the Hollywood
Bowl Orchestra, Opera Pacific, and the San Diego Symphony. He studied with John Ferrillo and Elaine Douvas
at Juilliard, where he earned a MM and a DMA and was awarded the first Stephen Alpert Memorial Scholarship.
While living in New York, Dr. Davis was a member of the New Haven and Hartford Symphonies, and performed
with the New York Woodwind Quintet, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, the Brooklyn Philharmonic,
and as a soloist on NPR’s Performance Today.

He began his musical training as a soprano in the Choir of Men and Boys at St. Paul’s Cathedral in Boston
under the direction of Thomas Murray. He studied oboe with Fred Cohen at New England Conservatory during
high school and continued with Ronald Roseman at Yale University, where he received a B.A. (cum laude) in
East Asian Studies and the Lustman Prize.

Dr. Davis’ students have gone on to careers in musicology, music education, music management, and, of course,
performance. They have played with the New York Philharmonic, the American Ballet Theater, the New World
Symphony, the Los Angeles Opera, the Cincinnati Symphony, and on Broadway. He is also a member of the
Northwind Quintet, a woodwind quintet that introduces the fun of music to elementary schools, and is active
as a studio musician.
