About
Jonathan (Yonnie) Dror is a wind instrument artist that was born and raised in Jerusalem. he acquired his formal education at the Buchman Mehta School of Music at Tel Aviv University studying classical flute.
Growing up in a unique, multicultural and diverse atmosphere stimulated his curiosity to delve into the cultural richness through wind instruments: He began to research and specialize in playing exotic instruments from the Middle East and around the world: duduk, ney, shofar, bansuri, didgeridoo, fujara and many more.
His expertise and distinct repertoire and scope, led him to perform and record with Israel’s top stars and most renowned and influential musicians, as well as touring constantly around the world, and performing in major World Music festivals.
