As well as being a celebrated performer, he is recognized as an accomplished composer and curator, and was named a TED Senior Fellow in 2015. Recent seasons have seen Roman perform recitals and concert with orchestras around the US and the world, including performances of Mason Bates's Cello Concerto (which was written for him) and his very own concerto. Roman is also a very active chamber musician and shares the stage with today's finest musicians. Roman has demonstrated inspirational artistic leadership throughout his career. As Artistic Director of TownMusic in Seattle he has showcased his own eclectic musical influences and chamber music favorites, while also promoting newly commissioned works. Under his direction, the series has offered world premieres of compositions by some of today's brightest young composers and performances by cutting-edge ensembles. In the 2015-16 season at TownMusic he presented his own song cycle, … we do it to one another, based on Tracy K. Smith's book of poems Life on Mars, with soprano Jessica Rivera. He has also recently been appointed the inaugural Artistic Advisor of award-winning contemporary streaming channel Second Inversion, launched by Seattle's KING-FM to cultivate the next generation of classical audiences. The cellist additionally took on a new curatorial role last summer, as Creative Partner of the Colorado Music Festival & Center for Musical Arts. The same organization sponsored him in April 2016 at the 68th Annual Conference on World Affairs on the University of Colorado campus, where he contributed his innovative ideas about how classical music is conceived and presented. Roman performed at the Kennedy Center Arts Summit that same month and is a member of the 2016 Kennedy Center Honors artists committee. Roman's cultural leadership includes using digital platforms to harness new audiences. In 2009 he developed “The Popper Project,” performing, recording and uploading the complete etudes from David Popper's High School of Cello Playing to his dedicated YouTube channel. In his latest YouTube project, “Everyday Bach,” Roman performs Bach's cello suites in beautiful settings around the world. He has collaborated with photographer Chase Jarvis on Nikon video projects, and Paste magazine singled out Roman and DJ Spooky for their cello and iPad cover of Radiohead's “Everything in Its Right Place,” created for the Voice Project. For his creative initiatives on behalf of classical music, Roman was named a TED Fellow in 2011, joining a select group of next-generation innovators who show potential to positively affect the world. He acted as curator for an outdoor amphitheater performance at the TED Summit in Banff in the Canadian Rockies this past summer. Beyond these initiatives, Roman's adventurous spirit has led to collaborations with artists outside the music community, including his co-creation of “On Grace” with Tony Award-nominated actress Anna Deavere Smith, a work for actor and cello which premiered in February 2012 at San Francisco's Grace Cathedral. His 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, communicating a message of hope through music. Before embarking on a solo career, Roman spent two seasons as principal cellist of the Seattle Symphony, a position he won in 2006 at the age of 22. Since that time, he has appeared as a soloist with the San Francisco Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Mariinsky Orchestra, New World Symphony, Alabama Symphony, and Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional del Ecuador, among many others. An active chamber musician, Roman has collaborated with established artists such as Andrius Zlabys, Cho-Liang Lin, Assad Brothers, Earl Carlyss, Christian Zacharias and Yo-Yo Ma, as well as other dynamic young soloists and performers from New York's vibrant music scene, including the JACK Quartet, Talea Ensemble, Derek Bermel and the Enso String Quartet. A native of Oklahoma City, Roman began playing the cello at the age of three on a quarter-size instrument, and gave his first public recital at age ten. Home-schooled until he was 16, he then pursued his musical studies at the Cleveland Institute of Music with Richard Aaron. He received his Bachelor's Degree in Cello Performance in 2004, and his Master's in 2005, as a student of Desmond Hoebig, former principal cellist of the Cleveland Orchestra. Roman is grateful for the loan of an 1899 cello by Giulio Degani of Venice. If you enjoyed the show, please leave a review on iTunes! I truly appreciate your support!

To mark the 100th episode of Sticky Notes(!), I was thrilled to be joined by Joshua Roman, cellist, composer, and curator. The core of our discussion centers on building an orchestra from the ground up. That is, not taking over an existing orchestra, but starting one completely from scratch. How would this look in 2019? Joshua has been thinking about this for years so it was fascinating to hear him discuss this and many other topics. Thanks again for all of our support and here's to another 100 episodes!

Begleitet von Joshua Roman am Cello und McKenzie Stubbert am Klavier vollzieht Milk die Beziehung zwischen Musik und Kunst nach – vom ersten Moment als er Kopfhörer aufsetzte bis zu seiner aktuellen Arbeit an bahnrechenden VIrtual-Reality-Projekten. VR ist das letzte Medium zum Geschichtenerzählen, meint er, denn es schließt die Lücke zwischen Zuschauer und Geschichtenerzähler. Um das zu veranschaulichen, brachte er das TED-Publikum im weltweit größten VR-Erlebnis zusammen. Machen Sie mit und nehmen Sie am interaktiven Vortrag teil, indem Sie sich einen Google-Karton besorgen und sich das Erlebnis unter with.in/TED runterladen.

Es una clase maestra de colaboración en la que el violinista Robert Gupta y el cellista Joshua Roman tocan 'Passacaglia' de Halvorsen para violín y viola. Roman toca la parte de la viola en su cello Stradivarius. Es conmovedor observar a los dos músicos conectarse momento a momento (y recuperarse de un error cometido en medio de la actuación). Ambos son TED Fellows, y su profunda conexión fortalece este dúo brillante.
바이올리니스트 로버트 굽타와 첼리스트 조슈아 로만이 할보르센의 "파사리아" 바이올린과 비올라를 위한 2중주를 연주할 때 협주의 최고 수준을 보여줍니다. 로만은 스트라디바리우스 첼로로 비올라 파트를 연주합니다. 두 음악가들이 시시각각 연결되는 것과 연주중 약간의 문제에서 회복되는 것을 지켜보는 것은 인상적인 경험입니다. 두 사람 모두 TED Fellows이며, 그들의 깊이 있는 관계가 놀라운 듀엣에 힘을 더합니다.
Le violoniste Robert Gupta et le violoncelliste Joshua Roman donnent conjointement une classe de maître en interprétant la "Passacaglia" pour violon et alto de Halvorsen. Roman joue la partie alto sur son violoncelle Stradivarius. Il est puissant de voir les deux musiciens connectés à chaque instant (et se ressaisir après des applaudissements inattendus à la moitié de l'interprétation). Tous les deux sont des TED Fellows, et le lien profond qui les unit donne toute la force à ce duo brillant.
Пассакалья Халворсена для скрипки и альта, исполняемая скрипачём Робертом Гупта и виолончелистом Джошуа Романом - это как мастер-класс сотрудничества. На своей виолончеле "Страдивари" Роман исполняет партию альта. Дух захватывает наблюдать за тем, как эти два исполнителя шаг за шагом исполняют это произведение (и оправляются от заминки выступления). Оба исполнителя являются официальными стипендиатами TEDа, и их глубокая связь снабжает энергией этот блестящий дует.
Uma verdadeira aula de colaboração com o violinista Robert Gupta e o violoncelista Joshua Roman fazendo permance da "Passacaglia" de Halvorsens no violino e na viola. Roman faz a parte da viola no seu violoncelo Stradivarius. É instigante ver os dois músicos conectados segundo a segundo (e se recuperarem de uma falha no meio da apresentação). Ambos são TED Fellows, e a sua profunda conexão torna possível este incrível dueto.
It's a master class in collaboration as violinist Robert Gupta and cellist Joshua Roman perform Halvorsen's "Passacaglia" for violin and viola. Roman takes the viola part on his Stradivarius cello. It's powerful to watch the two musicians connect moment to moment (and recover from a mid-performance hiccup). The two are both TED Fellows, and their deep connection powers this sparkling duet.
Es stellt die Meisterklasse einer Zusammenarbeit dar wie der Violinist Robert Gupta und der Cellist Joshua Roman Halvorsens "Passacaglia" für Violine und Cello aufführen. Roman übernimmt dabei den Cello-Teil auf seinem Stradivari Cello. Es ist gewaltig diesen beiden Musikern bei ihrer Verbindung von Moment zu Moment zuzusehen (und sich von dem Schluckauf in der Aufführungsmitte zu erholen). Beide sind TED-Fellows und ihre tiefe Verbindung trägt dieses strahlende Duett.
