Kyle Jones
Kyle Jones, saxophonist, is a performer, teacher, and new music advocate whose natural curiosity towards music leads him to challenge the parameters of his art. His varied playing experience in multiple genres gives him a unique insight when interpreting music, both new and old. Kyle is continuously working to make his art more approachable by seeking out unusual performance venues, collaborating with artists in other mediums, and dismantling long-standing barriers between performers and audience-members.
Recent endeavors include organizing and performing on an All-Berio concert held in both Baltimore and New York City, as well as collaborations with chamber ensembles such as Tetractys and Density512. Kyle was also chosen as the winner of the 2018 Sarah and Ernest Butler Winds, Brass, and Percussion Concerto Competition, held at the University of Texas-Austin. In addition to his performing activities, Kyle serves as a Co-Director for Fast Forward Austin.
