Violinist Joshua Brown gained international attention after winning the second prize and both audience awards at the 2024 Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels, and was awarded a 2025 Avery Fisher Career Grant. As the recipient of a 2025 Louis and Susan Meisel Prize, Joshua is currently represented by Concert Artists Guild. Since his debut with the Cleveland Orchestra, he has performed regularly with orchestras around the world, including the Munich Radio Orchestra, MDR Sinfonieorchester, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, Slovak Philharmonic, East Coast Chamber Orchestra, Belgian National Orchestra, and Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège. He studied under Donald Weilerstein as part of New England Conservatory’s Institute for Concert Artists, and under Almita and Roland Vamos at the Music Institute of Chicago. Joshua is grateful to be playing an outstanding Nicolò Amati violin, c. 1635–40, on extended loan through the generosity of the Mary B. Galvin Foundation and the Stradivari Society.

He will join CMS’s Bowers Program in fall 2027.
