Jonathan Carney
American musician From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carney grew up in Tenafly, New Jersey[1] and graduated from Tenafly High School.[2] He studied at the Juilliard School with Christine Dethier and Ivan Galamian.[3]
He moved to London on a Leverhulme Fellowship Award to study at the Royal College of Music with Trevor Williams.[4][5][6][7]
In 1991 he became leader of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and appeared as soloist with them in the UK and beyond.[3] In 1994 he was appointed Concertmaster of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, having been joint leader on its American tour;[8] he recorded the Nielsen concerto with them in 1997 (on a Domenico Montagnana instrument).[3] As a member of the Michael Nyman Band he played on the soundtrack of several Peter Greenaway films.
Carney is the concertmaster of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.[9] In 2018, Katherine Needleman, principal oboist of the Baltimore Symphony, filed a sexual harassment complaint against the orchestra with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), accusing Carney of harassment and retaliation.[10][11] The orchestra hired an independent investigator, and the investigation concluded there was no hostile work environment so Carney was not disciplined.[12] Carney was later suspended after additional allegations of “inappropriate behavior” toward a musician with the Mid-Atlantic Symphony were reported.[13][12]
