Jesse Irons enjoys a busy and excitingly diverse musical life. He is the Assistant Concertmaster of Boston Baroque and appears regularly with Handel & Haydn Society, the Boston Early Music Festival, and with numerous small ensembles including Gut Reaction and Musicians of the Old Post Road. He has appeared as soloist with Newton Baroque, Sarasa, Chicago’s Baroque Band, and the City Orchestra of Hong Kong. Always up for experimenting with music old and new, Jesse recently performed an entirely-improvised 1690s-style violin sonata in concert with keyboardist Andrus Madsen. This past season also saw him appear as soloist in Vivaldi’s Four Seasons with the Minnesota Opera Orchestra, in a special new version algorithmically altered based on the 2050 United Nations Climate Model, reimagining Vivaldi’s piece in the context of a projected future in which nothing has been done to curb climate change. Jesse lives in the Boston area with his wife Emily, daughter Isabelle, and baby Ennis.
