Jonathan Cohen

Throughout the 24-25 season, Jonathan continues to have a strong presence on both sides of the Atlantic. He returns to Kammerorchester Basel and directs performances of St Matthew Passion with both Rotterdam Philharmonic and Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. He returns to Glyndebourne Festival for a revival of Barrie Kosky’s production of Handel Saul. He leads both Handel and Haydn Society and Houston Symphony Orchestra in Messiah, and with Handel and Haydn he also conducts Haydn The Seasons, Mozart Requiem and Beethoven Mass in C.

Jonathan founded Arcangelo in 2010 to create high-quality bespoke projects. The ensemble was the first to be named Baroque Ensemble in Residence at Wigmore Hall and has toured to halls and festivals including Philharmonie Berlin, Vienna Konzerthaus, Barbican Centre, Kölner Philharmonie, Salzburg Festival, MA Festival Bruges and BBC Proms.

Arcangelo’s latest recordings include Handel Theodora, Sacroprofano with Tim Mead, Handel Chandos Anthems (Alpha; released in 2025) and a landmark project with Nicolas Altstaedt to make the first survey on period instruments of Boccherini Cello Concertos (Alpha).
