A native of Santaquin, Utah, Jonathan Bowman began his piano studies at the age of 8. He and his three siblings played with such energy that they often broke strings on their living room piano. Still noted for his incisive and energetic playing, Mr. Bowman has given solo recitals around the United States as well as Italy and Japan. Most recently, he has been heard performing Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21 with the Southwest Symphony, presenting a solo recital at Hobart and William Smith College, and on the radio playing new music by John Liberatore and Victoria Bond.

Early in his performing career, Jonathan was awarded first prize at the inaugural Eastman School of Music Young Artist Piano Competition. As part of a piano team, he won first prize at the Gina Bachauer PianoTeams competition in 1998 and 2004. In 2006, he was selected as a national finalist at the Music Teachers' National Association competition.

Jonathan is currently a graduate student of Dr. Douglas Humpherys at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY, where he lives with his wife and baby son. He is available as an accompanist, collaborative partner, and piano teacher.
