He is the Artistic Director of Arcangelo, Associate Conductor of Les Arts Florissants and Artistic Director of the Tetbury Music Festival. 　　  　　Alongside his busy guest conducting career, Jonathan directs his own ensemble Arcangelo with whom he performs regularly throughout Europe at some of the most highly regarded festivals and concert halls. Jonathan and Arcangelo have recorded a wide range of music, from Porpora and Handel to Gluck and Mozart, including albums for Hyperion with soloists Iestyn Davies and Christopher Purves. 　　  　　After finishing his studies at Clare College, Cambridge, Jonathan began his career establishing himself as a cellist. He performed as guest principal with many of the UK’s foremost orchestras and ensembles, both symphonic and ‘historical’.
