Victoria Jones, violin
Victoria grew up on a small farm in Northern Ontario, Goulais River. She began playing the violin at the Algoma Conservatory Of Music in Sault Ste. Marie and as a young child it soon became apparent that she offered something special and would become a serious student of the instrument. Twice appearing in the Kiwanis Shield Festival she was rewarded with first place finishes as well as winning the Sault Symphony Competition. Victoria has competed at the provincial and the national level as well. Her last two appearances at the CMC in the nationals have resulted in first place finishes. Victoria was accepted to the Young Artist Program in Ottawa at the NAC under the direction of Pinchas Zukerman for four summers as well as The Morningside Music Bridge in Calgary. Victoria participated in the 2015 Verbier Festival Junior Orchestra and served as Concertmaster in Verbier Switzerland. She accepted an invitation to return to Switzerland for the 2016 session with a full scholarship. Victoria relocated to Toronto for three years to study with Mayumi Seiler and participate in the Phil And Eli Taylor Performance Program for Young Artists at the Royal Conservatory. Victoria was one of the Phil and Eli Taylor Performance Concerto Competition winners who performed with the orchestra in Koerner Hall. Since returning home Victoria has dedicated herself to developing her own unique sound and sharing it with her audiences.
