I'm Jonathan Draper and I'm a cellist from Sheffield. I studied cello at Trinity College of Music in London. Since leaving music college, I have performed with many string quartets over the years and played at weddings and events mainly in the Yorkshire area. I currently perform with the Sheffield based Bes String Quartet, and as a solo cellist. I have a wide reportiore of popular classical pieces, and lighter music for a background setting. I live in Sheffield, where I teach and perform for a living.

Jonathan's Reviews

Jonathan is a superb musician with an incredible repertoire.

Jonathan is a highly capable multi instrumentalist. I have played with him on a number of projects since the mid 1990s. He is a pleasure to be around and always adds something special to the musical mix.
