Acclaimed for his “most assured pianism” (The Dallas Morning News) and “larger than life [playing]” (New York Concert Review), Indonesian-American Jonathan Mamora is a pianist and educator who strives to uplift and positively influence others using music as a means for service.

He has performed throughout North America, South America, Europe, and Asia, and is a prize-winner of several piano competitions, most recently winning first prize in the Scottish, Maria Canals Barcelona, Olga Kern, AntwerPiano, Dallas, and Palm Springs international competitions, and winning top prizes in the Cleveland, “Classic Piano,” and Wideman competitions. He made his concerto debut at the age of 13 and he has since performed with such orchestras as the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Orquesta Sinfònica de Madrid, Orquestra Simfònica Sant Cugat, Orquesta Ciudad de Granada, Bilbao Orkestra Sinfonikoa, New Mexico Philharmonic, and Dallas Chamber Symphony, among others. Upcoming engagements in the 2024-2025 season include concerto performances with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, and solo performances in Scotland, Barcelona, the Gina Bachauer Festival in Salt Lake City, the Chautauqua Institute in New York, and the Hilton Head and Van Cliburn competitions.

Jonathan often performs as a collaborative pianist for vocalists, instrumentalists, ensembles, and choirs. He also values education as an important tool in music making, currently serving as Assistant Professor of Music and Director of Keyboard and Theory Studies at Southwestern Adventist University in Keene, Texas.

Jonathan is a candidate for the Doctor of Musical Arts in Piano Performance and Literature at the Eastman School of Music, studying with Douglas Humpherys, whom he served as studio assistant.
