Symphonic composer & pianist Paul Joseph takes enthusiastic audiences on an inspiring musical journey through the passionate world of his classically-oriented compositions in orchestral and ballet performances, as well as piano concerts.
He was Composer-in-Residence of the Queensboro Symphony Orchestra for their entire existence from 2015 to 2020 (until the passing of their late great conductor Maestro Dong-hyun Kim), and also helped promote and coordinate their concerts. The QSO premiered may of his works including the symphonic fantasy “The King of the Mask.” This multidisciplinary extravaganza is a collaboration with celebrated Cuban artist Roman Valdes and has been choreographed and performed by Ballet Long Island and Dance Visions NY, with excerpts performed at Tilles Center.
His orchestral music has been performed internationally, and world-renowned maestro Arthur Fagen states, “Paul Joseph is certainly a composer whose music deserves to be heard. His music has a beautiful, deep felt lyricism which has an immediate emotional impact upon its listeners.”
Also: performances by the Queens Symphony Orchestra (led by world renown maestro Arthur Fagen), Bismarck-Mandan Symphony Orchestra (N. Dakota), Palisades Sinfonietta, Queens Philharmonia, Forest Hills Symphony, West Islip Symphony, Lawrence Philharmonic, South Shore Symphony, Long Island Mandolin Orchestra, Senior Pops Orchestra, Nassau Community Orchestra, Island Senior Symphony String Ensemble
He has performed extensively throughout the Greater New York City Area, most recently as leader of his jazz trio. The Paul Joseph Trio (and sometimes Quartet) is known for its unique jazz arrangements of classical music, as exemplified in their performance with New York’s Nova Philharmonic of “Mozart Meets Jazz.”
As well as their Classical Jazz programming, they’ve concertized extensively the past several years doing a variety of American Songbook composer-theme programs featuring Gershwin, Rodgers, Porter, Kern, Ellington and even Irish, Italian and Holiday jazz.
His patriotic song “The Land of the Human Dream” was performed Independence Day 2003 on the steps of the North Dakota capital building by the Bismark-Mandan Symphony. His orchestral “Cry of a Butterfly” was made into a nature music video by JFKA productions and the guitar arrangement has been recorded by the internationally acclaimed Italian virtuoso Fabrizio Ferraro. Paul Joseph has enjoyed extensive media coverage including radio airplay (including WNYC & WRHU), television interviews (including WNBC, News12 NY), and numerous feature articles.
