About

Twenty year old cellist Joshua McClendon is currently pursuing his bachelor’s degree at The Juilliard School under Richard Aaron. Joshua began his cello studies at the age of eight under the tutelage of Detroit Symphony Orchestra cellist, Paul Wingert. Since, he has attended the Meadowmount School of Music and the Aspen Music Festival and School. Joshua has had the great fortune to work and collaborate with musicians such as Ida Kavafian, Jonathan Koh, Eric Kim, Wei Yu, Joshua Roman and Astrid Schween, as well as the Juilliard, Escher, Pro Arte, JACK, and Cavani String Quartets. Joshua performs on a 1933 Karel Vavra cello generously on loan to him by the Virtu Foundation.

Music

Primarily traditional repertoire, from solo Bach, to the sonatas of Beethoven, Brahms, Debussy, and many more! However I am a profound lover of the string chamber music repertoire, particularly quartets!
