Joshua
John

Based in New York City, Joshua has always endeavored to give himself fully to making great art, entertaining audiences, and spreading joy and a love for music and theatre. He is a graduate of the great Westminster Choir College of Rider University and now sings regularly with The Philadelphia Symphonic Choir under many of the world’s great conductors, including Maestro Yannick Nézet-Séguin.

As a theatre actor, Joshua has performed in the New York Fringe Festival (Zuccotti Park) and with Smithtown PAC (A Little Night Music), TheaterWorks USA (Skippyjon Jones: Snow What), and Pushcart Players (The Velveteen Rabbit and Ellis Island: Gateway to America).

This summer marked his 7th season singing in opera and choir productions at the Spoleto Festival USA. Operas included Magic Flute, Kepler, Matsukaze, Omar (workshop; premiere as Olufemi), and Vanessa. Joshua is proud to have been an integral part of the development of Omar, a Pulitzer-prize winning opera by Rhiannon Giddens and Michael Abels, from the first workshop in NYC, to a showcase with Opera America New Works Forum, to its incredibly well-reviewed premiere at the Spoleto Festival in South Carolina, and finally to a production with Carolina Performing Arts in North Carolina.

In film, Joshua has the great pleasure of being seen in the Oscar-nominated film Maestro.
