After being taught by his brother and Hubert Hegele, he became a junior student of Lothar Schmitt at the Würzburg Music Academy. There he also began full-time studies in 2009, graduating with distinction in 2014. He then completed a master’s degree with Stefan Schulz at the Berlin University of the Arts. Jonas Burow began playing in various youth orchestras at a young age and was a member of the National Youth Orchestra of Germany for many years. In 2010 he became bass trombone player at the Nürnberg Symphonic Orchestra. In 2016 he was appointed bass and contrabass trombonist at the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra. Apart from his orchestral work, chamber music is another important focus for him.
