John Steinmetz is a worker bee bassoonist in the great musical hive of
Los Angeles. He plays chamber music with XTET and Camerata Pacifica, he
appears with the Los Angeles Master Chorale and Los Angeles Bach
Festival, and sometimes he contributes bassoon sounds to movie or
television soundtracks. (You might actually be able to hear him on
"Synecdoche, New York" or "Far From Heaven.") He has been a regular
participant in the Oregon Bach Festival and a frequent guest faculty
member at the Apple Hill Center for Chamber Music. He has performed at
the Skaneateles Festival, the Moab Festival, and the Chamber Music
Conference and Composers Forum of the East. He made three tours of Spain
with the Bill Douglas Trio (one of those bassoon-oriented
jazz-funk-Latin-Renaissance-Afro-Irish ensembles), he premiered Donald
Crockett's Extant for bassoon and chamber ensemble with the
Pittsburgh New Music Ensemble and recorded the piece with XTET, and he
premiered his own Concerto for bassoon and orchestra with the Santa Rosa Symphony. He is faculty bassoonist at UCLA.
