Dr. Timothy Jones, Violin along with accompanist Gene Philley, Piano will open the 2021-22 Faculty Artist Series with an evening of Brahms. Two violin sonatas and several smaller works will be performed. Brahms' final violin sonata in particular is a prime example of the rich textures and rhythmic creativity which places the composer as the icon of German Romanticism.

Prior to coming to WSU, Dr. Jones taught strings at the middle school level in the Wichita Public Schools, and in higher education he lectured at Azusa Pacific University and the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. He holds degrees in Music Education and Violin Performance. Dr. Jones has performed as both soloist and concertmaster with ensembles in North and South America. Much of Jones's work in music education integrates chamber music within his pedagogical approach.
