Joshua Feltman

Joshua has a wealth of experience as an orchestral player (viola and piano) as well as a music director and conductor for musicals, operas and orchestras.

The Philharmonic Orchestra of the Americas (POA) is  a New York City based ensemble led by Alondra de la Parra.  In addition to performing on both piano and viola, Mr. Feltman has served as programming advisor, artistic coordinator and assistant conductor. This orchestra is attempting to redefine the standard orchestral repertoire by focusing almost exclusively on the repertoire of North and South America.  We have already covered many of the standard works, particularly those of the major Mexican and American composers as well as composers from other South American countries and more contemporary voices of Mexico.  A double CD recording project this year  provides a glimpse of the mission: Mexican orchestral music spanning three centuries will be presented in a format which reveals the origins of Nationalist musical thought and the unique and creative use of contemporary compositional ideas in recent work.

Joshua also plays as a free-lance violist for several orchestras in the NYC area and can be reached via email for such services.  He has also served as music director for over fifty musical theater productions and several operas and has ample experience coaching and accompanying singers in many different styles (and plays easily by ear)
