Music by Bach has been popular with the young artists we've been featuring for our Sunday Brunch with Tuesday Musical series this summer! Hear a unique Bach performance on the marimba by Jonathan Cooley, a student at the University of Cincinnati-Conservatory of Music. He plays Bach's "Cello Suite No. 5, Prelude" for the 2026 Tuesday Musical Final Round/Winners Concert in May.
Jonathan won a spot on the concert stage by competing in the 2026 scholarship competition where he was awarded the Tuesday Musical Percussion Scholarship. Both the competition and concert were on The University of Akron campus. A percussionist for 12 years, Jonathan is pursuing a master’s degree in percussion performance at the University of Cincinnati. He has a bachelor’s degree in percussion performance from the University of Alabama.
Begun in 1955 and with significant scholarships, Tuesday Musical’s annual competition is widely recognized as the best of its kind in Ohio for talented students embarking on careers as music educators and performers.
