Joshua W. Rohde
Assistant Conductor

A Minnesota native, Joshua Rohde recently graduated from the University of Minnesota last spring with two degrees: a Bachelors of Music in Cello Performance where he studied with Tanya Remenikova and a Bachelors of Science in Civil Engineering. While in Minnesota, he also intensively studied choral conducting with Kathy Romey and Matthew Mehaffey. Fresh to the Boston area this fall, he is currently in his first year of a Masters of Sacred Music in Choral Conducting at Boston University. Thrilled to be in such a vibrant musical community, Joshua is heavily involved conducting, singing and playing his cello for many different organizations. This includes the exciting new opportunity to be the assistant conductor with the wonderful Salisbury Singers and Michelle Graveline in Worcester. Joshua can also been seen working with the Marsh Chapel Choir at Boston University where he resides as a conducting fellow.

As a cellist, Joshua has received many awards and honors, such as being a featured soloist on Minnesota Public Radio, at the Ordway Center of Performing Arts, and with the Rochester Chamber Music Society. He has also won many solo competitions such as the Schubert Club Scholarship Competition, the Minnesota Mary West State Solo Competition, and the Thursday Musical Competition. Recently, Joshua also played the Shostakovich Cello Concerto with the University of Minnesota Orchestra in one of the most memorable performances of his life.

Joshua currently studies choral conducting with Ann Howard Jones and Scott Allen Jarrett, and cello with Mike Reynolds of the Muir String Quartet.
