ABOUT JOSHUA
Joshua started playing the piano at age 10 under Deborah Handley at Woodend Primary. Within two years, Joshua had already learned piano pieces by Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin, and performed them at school assemblies. Supported by the school’s music director, Jarrod Lamshed, Joshua successfully auditioned for a solo performance debut at the Adelaide Festival Centre.
Highlights of Joshua’s piano journey include two masterclasses with Konstantin Shamray, prizes in the Adelaide Eisteddfods and solo recitals at Hopgood theatre and Yankalilla. Joshua currently studies under the tutelage of Simón Pazos Quintana and he aspires to become a concert pianist in the future.
