Joshua Brown

​Joshua Brown is a composer from Rossendale in the North West of England (born 1989).

 

He studied with Professor Philip Grange, and since 2021 he has held the position of Lecturer in Composition at the University of Manchester.

​

Joshua’s music often explores a combination of mathematical concepts and freedom for musicians. This dichotomy of precision processes while composing, alongside elements of chance in performance, embraces the unique qualities individual musicians bring to a piece of music so that each composition feels like a premiere every time it is played.

​

Joshua’s work is performed in the UK and internationally by leading ensembles and soloists. Collaborations have included working with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Quatuor Danel, Martynas Levickis and MikroOrkestra, Alice Allen, Jacob Heringman and Clare Wilkinson, Psappha, Jacqueline Shave, and Natrio Ensemble.
