Joshua Brown

Violinist Joshua Brown has been praised by audiences and critics worldwide for his “...richness of sound, elegance of reading...commitment of every moment at the service of the work...” (La Libre). Joshua was awarded a 2025 Avery Fisher Career Grant, and gained international attention after winning the 2nd Prize and both Audience Awards at the 2024 Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels. Other international competition successes include 1st Prizes at both the inaugural 2023 Global Music Education International Violin Competition in
Beijing, China, as well as the 2019 International Violin Competition of Leopold Mozart in Augsburg, Germany. As the recipient of a 2025 CAG Louis and Susan Meisel Prize, Joshua was selected to be a shared CAG-YCAT artist and is currently represented by Concert Artists Guild in the Americas and the Young Classical Artists Trust.

Joshua was first recognized for his debut performance with the Cleveland Orchestra and has gone on to perform regularly with orchestras around the world, including the Munich Radio Orchestra, MDR
Sinfonieorchester, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Civic Orchestra, East Coast Chamber Orchestra, Belgian National Orchestra, and Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liege, among others,
continually garnering praise from critics. Recent and forthcoming performances include concerto debuts with the San Diego and North Carolina Symphonies, as well as recital appearances at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and Merkin Hall.

A passionate recitalist and chamber musician, Joshua is a 2027-30 Bowers Program Artist at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. He has also appeared regularly in series such as Chicago's Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concert Series, Festival Musiq3 in Brussels, the Tchaikovsky Festival in Moscow, the ProMusica series in Mexico, the Matinée Musicale series in Cincinnati, the Jupiter Chamber Players series in New York City, and the North Shore Chamber Music Festival in Chicago. Joshua received the Kronberg Academy’s 2023 Manfred Grommek Prize, and has been named a Pirastro Artist, Yamaha Young Performing Artist, and Luminarts Fellow, among other awards.

Joshua received his Artist Diploma as part of the New England Conservatory of Music’s Institute for Concert Artists under Donald Weilerstein after also earning his Bachelor and Master of Music there. Before his time at NEC, Joshua studied with Almita and Roland Vamos at the Music Institute of Chicago. Joshua is grateful to be playing an outstanding Nicolo Amati violin from Cremona, circa 1635-1640, on extended loan through the generosity of the Mary B. Galvin Foundation and the efforts of the Stradivari Society, a division of Bein & Fushi, Inc. The Mary B. Galvin Foundation, Inc. and the Stradivari Society support the very highest level of string playing by loaning precious antique Italian instruments to artists of exceptional talent and ability. Professional development activities for Joshua Brown are generously supported by Marilyn G. and Joseph B. Schwartz.
