Jameson Cooper
Violinist Jameson Cooper has established an international reputation as a chamber music player. A founding member of the Euclid Quartet, he is also active as a soloist and is a significant educator.
Cooper was born in Sheffield, England. He began violin lessons at six, and by 13, he had become a member of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain. Cooper also served as concertmaster of the National Youth Chamber Orchestra of Great Britain. He earned a music degree with honors and a professional performance diploma from the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, England. Cooper came to the U.S. for graduate studies, earning master's degrees in violin and conducting at Kent State University in Ohio. His teachers included Dorothy DeLay, Masao Kawasaki, and Roland Vamos. After graduating from Kent State, he joined the faculty there as an assistant professor. As a member of the Audubon Quartet, he appeared on that group's complete cycle of the Beethoven string quartets in 2001-2002. Cooper made his recording debut in 2014 on the Centaur label with the violin chamber album The Harlequin.
Cooper has been active primarily as a chamber music player, although he has also appeared as an orchestral soloist in such venues as Washington's Kennedy Center. He was a founding member of the Euclid Quartet, with which he appeared on several recordings, including a complete cycle of the Bartók quartets. With violinist James Dickenson, he recorded a pair of albums of the rarely heard violin duets of Louis Spohr, and he recorded violin-and-piano duets with pianists Ketevan Badridze and Eli Kalman. With the former, he issued the album French Violin Duets on the Afinat label in 2022. Cooper teaches at the University of Indiana at South Bend and is in demand for master classes, which he has given at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and Michigan State University, among other schools. He has also taught at the Lyceum Music School in Oldham, England.
