‘Music has room and time to breathe’
Westdeutsche Zeitung

‘Seriousness in the search to go into the depths of the respective works. It is important to him to trace the composer's path and to really bring it closer to the listener through his interpretation’ Christoph Richter

Jonas Gaube, born in Aachen in 1987, began playing the cello at the age of five and studied cello at the conservatories in Essen, Berlin and Detmold from 2006 to 2015.
 

He lives as a freelance cellist in Aachen and teaches at the ‘Cello Studio Jonas Gaube’. His demand as a soloist and chamber musician has recently led him to tour abroad, most recently to Japan (2024), Serbia (2023), China (2019), Argentina and Brazil (2013), Russia (2009) and since 2012 he has been a regular guest solo cellist with ensembles such as the Detmold Chamber Orchestra and the Kammerphilharmonie Ostwestfalen-Lippe.

 

 

 

  ‘Maturity and great soulfulness. The purity and security with which Gaube modelled the notes, the variety of expression also in the interplay with the piano voice
the interplay with the piano part, give rise to calm joy’
 Kölner Stadtanzeiger

After his first early successes in the ‘Jugend musiziert’ competition, he was awarded scholarships from the Werner Richard - Dr Carl Dörken Foundation, the Hans and Eugenia Jütting Foundation and was supported by Live Music Now.

As a celebrated guest soloist, he has performed with orchestras such as the Folkwang Chamber Orchestra, the Deutsche Kammerakademie Neuss am Rhein and the WDR Radio Orchestra. He was also included in the chamber music series Best of NRW, sponsored by WDR3, the Kunststiftung NRW and the Dörken Foundation.
 

 ‘Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata...even the very often required high registers of the cello and the sometimes quite virtuoso demands in the two faster movements were impressively realised...’ General Anzeiger Bonn

Jonas Gaube studied cello with Prof Christoph Richter at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, with Prof Stephan Forck at the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music in Berlin and with Prof Xenia Jankovic at the Detmold Academy of Music.

He received further important impulses in masterclasses with the cellists Martin Lovett, Antonio Lysy, Arto Noras, Uzi Wiesel and Boris Pergamenschikov, among others.

 

A recording of the Schönberg version of
Gustav Mahler's Lied der Erde with the Detmold Chamber Orchestra (released on the MDG label) was awarded the ECHO Klassik
award in 2012.
