Violist/ Violinist Jordan Warmath received her DMA in Viola Performance from UCSB in 2017. As a sought after performer and collaborator she has appeared on stage with internationally acclaimed pop artist Sting, soprano Renée Fleming, the Takács Quartet, cellist Carter Brey, pianist Emanuel Ax, and violinists Ray Chen, Anne Akiko Meyers, Glenn Dicterow, and Gil Shaham. As a lover of orchestral music she regularly performs with the Pasadena, New West, and Bakersfield Symphonies in addition to serving as Principal Viola for the Westside Chamber Orchestra and associate principal viola for the Pacific Opera Project. A passionate promoter of modern compositions, Dr. Warmath has premiered solo viola works by contemporary composers Charles Peck, Arthur Gotschalk, Joel Feigin, Hillary Purrington, Jennifer Dirkes, and Marc Evans at Rice University, the University of Texas at Austin, UCLA, and UCSB. ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­As an advocate for modern viola and violin literature, she continues to commission, seek, promote, and perform contemporary music (and opera!) as frequently as possible. However, her favorite part of working in Los Angeles has been performing in the studio where she can be heard on the soundtracks to Obi-Wan, Star Trek, Black Adam, Lego Movie 2, and many more.
