Music
Life
Loren Jones is a native of San Francisco, and began experimenting with composition as a child. He spent his early years dividing his time between film-making and music, and some of his film work was periodically broadcast on local television. Eventually choosing to pursue music instead of film, Loren formed and was part of several local bands performing and creating different genres of original music.
To this point largely self-taught, in the 1980’s Loren returned to serious study to acquire greater depth musical education in order be able to create the kind of music that he had always been the most passionate about. Loren studied with Tom Constantine, Herb Bielawa, Alexis Alrich and is currently working with David Conte at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, where he is also a member of the chorus.
His music has been performed by his own chamber group, by the San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra, and by students and teachers from around the Bay Area. He has produced several recordings, worked in radio and film, including creating the sound track for an animated short which won a special Academy Award. His 2006 release, Woodward’s Gardens, features guitars, piano, flute, oboe, harp, and cello. His newest project, Dancing on the Brink of the World, a fourteen movement piece on the history of San Francisco, has been an ongoing part of the repertoire of the past two seasons of SFCCO concerts.
