Join me (new host Murphy Severtson!) as I talk with Joshua Roman on what it means to be a soloist, artistry, collaboration, and chronic health.
_________________________________
Joshua Roman is a cellist, composer and curator whose performances embrace musical styles from Bach to Radiohead. Before setting off on his unique path as a soloist, Roman was the Seattle Symphony’s principal cellist - a job he began at just 22 years of age. He has since become renowned for his genre-bending repertoire and wide-ranging collaborations. He was also named a TED Senior Fellow in 2015.
Collaborators include Tony-winner/MacArthur Genius Grant recipient Bill T. Jones and East African vocalist Somi, the JACK, St. Lawrence, and Verona Quartets, Tony-nominated actor Anna Deavere Smith, poet Tracy K. Smith, violinist Vadim Gluzman, and conductor David Danzmayr.
Roman’s outreach endeavors have taken him to Uganda with his violin-playing siblings, where they played chamber music in schools, HIV/AIDS centers and displacement camps.
On January 14th, Roman will perform Tan Dun’s Crouching Tiger Suite and premiere Donna Milanovich Composer in Residence Reinaldo Moya’s cello concertino “Rise,” with the Chicago Philharmonic. Also programmed on the concert, guitarist Sharon Isbin will also perform the American Premiere of Dun’s Concerto for Guitar and Orchestra (Yi2).
