Jonathan has performed throughout North and South America, Europe, and Asia, and he has enjoyed remarkable recent success, winning first prize at numerous prominent international piano competitions including the Scottish International Piano Competition in 2023. In May 2025, he performed as one of 30 elite pianists invited to compete in the Van Cliburn IPC in Fort Worth, TX.
