Juno Award-winning clarinetist Virginia MacDonald has established herself as a leading voice of her generation. Known for her lyrical and dynamic approach to the clarinet, she has been described by legendary clarinetist Doreen Ketchens as playing “like a scholar, very refined with plenty of soul.” As an in-demand bandleader, sidewoman, and composer, she maintains a busy international performance schedule, regularly appearing at renowned venues such as Birdland, Smalls, Ronnie Scott’s, Le Duc des Lombards, and Dizzy’s. Her festival appearances span the globe, with performances at the Detroit, Rochester, Torino, Montreal, and Toronto Jazz Festivals, among others.

Virginia has performed and recorded with distinguished artists including Kirk Lightsey, Michael Dease, Joe Magnarelli, Dick Oatts, Ira Coleman, Geoffrey Keezer, Bruce Barth, Harold Mabern, Eddie Henderson, Neil Swainson, and Terry Clarke. She is a frequent collaborator with Grammy Award-winning trombonist Michael Dease, appearing on three of his albums to date, and performing regularly as a member of his groups. Her composition “Up High, Down Low” is featured on his 2023 release "Swing Low".

Virginia co-leads a quintet with trumpet player Joe Magnarelli. She has also enjoyed working  with his longtime collaborator, saxophonist Dick Oatts, as a member of his quintet. The three musicians recently recorded an album at the legendary Rudy Van Gelder Studio, slated for release in 2026. Virginia is also the co-leader of a quintet with Baltimore bass clarinetist Todd Marcus, which highlights their rare soprano and bass clarinet frontline. Both groups perform frequently across Canada, the U.S., and Europe.
