Jonas Frølund is a Danish musician and entrepreneur born in 1996 in Roskilde, Denmark. He is educated from the Paris Conservatoire in 2022 and is active both as a soloist, chamber musician and orchestra musician. He is a member of the Danish Chamber Orchestra, member of the wind quintet V Coloris and various other ensembles and has frequent collaborations with the new Nordic folk music trio Stundom.

Jonas has released numerous albums and singles already, most remarkably his solo debut album SOLO ALONE AND MORE (OUR Recordings, 2023). This release gave Jonas high acclaim in music magazines such as Gramophone and Klassik Heute, and January 2025 meant another release highlight when the recording of the Clarinet Quintet by Danish composer Rune Glerup played by Quatuor Diotima and Jonas met the world and was well received in among others the music magazine Diapason.

Jonas is passionate about contemporary music and working with composers and of the idea of mixing up genres and arts, and he constantly brings the question of transmission into focus: Meeting and communicating with his audience means everything to Jonas and in recent years all of the above has been expressed and experienced not least in numerous concerts, concert series, recordings and projects initiated by Jonas and qualified collaborators of his. Over the years Jonas has premiered 34 chamber music and solo pieces and has in recent years been working with composers such as Bent Sørensen, Poul Ruders, Hans Abrahamsen, Simon Steen-Andersen, Matias Vestergård, Lil Lacy, Mette Nielsen, and Birgitte Alsted.

The past years have seen Jonas Frølund in the company of among others The Danish String Quartet, Quatuor Diotima, Trio con Brio, Nightingale String Quartet, Aleksander Sitkovetsky, Andreas Brantelid, Marianna Shirinyan, Mogens Dahl Chamber Choir and Orchestre de Douai.

Jonas plays all kinds of clarinets and more and has in his instrument collection so far: A and B clarinets, bass clarinet, basset, clarinet, tenor saxophone and duduk (traditional Armenian instrument).
