Cellist Joshua Gordon joined the Lydians and the music faculty of Brandeis University in 2002. He is also an artist member of the Worcester Chamber Music Society and resident cellist at the annual Composers Conference and Chamber Music Center led by Kurt Rohde. He is equally at home whether performing on stage in famous concert halls around the world, in an Australian limestone arch cave, or with dancers on a Boston housing project basketball court. He has been a guest of renowned ensembles and festivals including the Apple Hill, Cassatt, DaPonte, Juilliard, and Ying Quartets, Boston Baroque, Boston Chamber Music Society, Chameleon Arts Ensemble, Emmanuel Music, Fromm Players at Harvard University, KinHaven Music School, Lighthouse Chamber Players, Mistral Music, Monadnock Music, North Country Chamber Players, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Portland Chamber Music Festival, Rockport Chamber Music Festival, and Speculum Musicae.
Joshua Gordon's duo with pianist Randall Hodgkinson has been described as "insightful and impassioned" by The New Yorker, and their New World recording Leo Ornstein: Complete Works For Cello and Piano was named one of the top 10 classical recordings of 2007 by the All Music Guide. As a Lydian, Gordon can be heard on critically acclaimed recordings of works by Martin Boykan, Mohammed Fairouz, John Harbison, Laurie San Martin, Vincent Persichetti, Kurt Rohde, and Beethoven in a set of his late quartets. He is also featured on recordings from Albany Records, CRI, Cala, Koch International Classics, Naxos, and Tzadik. joshuagordoncello.com
