Bio

Jason Anthony Gomez is a versatile composer and violinist whose creative journey blends the intricate textures of classical music with the vibrant energy of indie pop and jazz. Gomez's compositions are characterized by their tuneful melodies and syncopated, driving rhythms, reflecting his deep-seated passion for crafting music that resonates with a broader audience beyond traditional classical music enthusiasts.

In 2018, Gomez was a composition fellow at the Alba Music Festival. During this period, his mixed quartet Dance was premiered by the SOLI Chamber Ensemble, and it has since been featured by Boston New Music Initiative. In 2022, his collection of duos for Flute and Clarinet, Microludes, was selected for premiere by the Vermillion Duet. 

The COVID-19 pandemic presented Gomez with a unique opportunity to explore new creative avenues. During the 2020-21 period, he developed a series of one-minute electronic pieces, known as “Mini-Tracks,” for social media release. This endeavor allowed him to experiment with new techniques and mediums, resulting in innovative approaches to musical construction and expression.

Gomez’s commitment to expanding his musical horizons is also reflected in his recent Wind Ensemble commission, Echoes from Mojave, for the CSU Bakersfield Music Department which is scheduled to premiere this November.

In addition to his compositional work, Gomez performs in Air and Water Duo, a violin/clarinet ensemble, alongside his partner Kristin Nakagawa. Together, they share a peaceful life with their spirited cat, Freddy.

With a continual drive to explore and innovate, Gomez remains dedicated to creating music that bridges genres and engages listeners in new and exciting ways.
