• Dreams, Yearning, for horn and piano

Jonathan Craft (b. 1986, Houston, Texas) is a pianist, French horn player, composer-arranger, music director, and conductor. He received his undergraduate degree in French Horn Performance from Boston University, and briefly attended graduate school at the Royal College of Music in London. He was the Associate Music Director for the national tour of the Broadway musical “Cats” from 2019-2022, and was part of the first cohort of touring musicals to resume performances after the COVID-19 pandemic. He has since returned home to Houston, where he has worked locally with TUTS, Stages Theatre, A.D. Players Theatre, Queensbury Theatre, the Symphony of Southeast Texas, Sam Houston State University, University of Houston, the Kinkaid School, and many others. He has composed several pieces for the University of St. Thomas theatre department (including “Phillip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread” and songs for Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night”); he also made his film score debut in early 2024. He currently lives in west Houston with his husband Edward and their (as of this publication) four cats.
