Jonathan Sheffer is an American conductor and composer. He founded the Eos Orchestra in New York in 1995 as a laboratory of new programming ideas. He began studying conducting after working for nearly a decade as a composer and conductor of Hollywood film scores. He made his conducting debut with the San Diego Symphony Orchestra in 1991. In the early 90’s he lead the Seattle Symphony Orchestra in concerts that combined unusual new works and performers with the standard repertoire, which began the kinds of programming experiments that resulted a few years later in Eos, and eventually, in Red.
