Musical Excerpts :

Composer Joshua Feltman was a winner of the Robert Black memorial composition contest and thus earned a commission to write a new piece for the New Amsterdam Symphony Orchestra. The Ties that Bind was performed in February at Symphony Space.

Mr. Feltman was selected as the ASCAP Foundation Leonard Bernstein fellow for the 2004 Tanglewood season and thus earned the opportunity to write a new work for conductor Frank Battisti and the BUTI wind ensemble. His music created at Tanglewood to accompany a collaborative project with experimental filmmakers, was described as “elegant crossover style” by the Boston Globe.

Acclaimed as a work of “real emotional power” by San Francisco Classical Review, Feltman’s orchestral work Commute was a commission from the Oakland East Bay Symphony. His music is published by Mostly Marimba Publications and by Southern Music Company.

In addition to his activities as a composer, Mr. Feltman conducts several contemporary ensembles in the New York area and teaches at both Brooklyn College and the Brooklyn Conservatory.
