Headshot of Jonathan Stuchbery

Jonathan is a specialist in instruments of the lute and guitar family from Toronto, ON. A sought after performer, he is praised for his “energizing precision” (The Whole Note) and “wistful lute performance” (La Scena Musicale).

He has performed with ensembles including Tafelmusik, Pacific Baroque Orchestra, Theatre of Early Music, and in series across Canada like Festival Bach à Montréal, Early Music Alberta, and Musique Royale. Alongside soprano Sinéad White, Jonathan forms Duo Oriana, who released their debut album ‘How Like a Golden Dream’ in 2023. They have been featured by Early Music America, and overseas by the Lute Society (London), and the Jacqueline du Pré series in Oxford.

He also engages in the creation of new repertoire for historical instruments. His own lute song ‘Initium Noctis’ is recorded on ‘How Like a Golden Dream’. Jonathan studied Early Music at the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya, and the University of McGill.
