Regarded as a singer with “personal style and a very beautiful baritone voice” (Seen and Heard International), “One of our favorite young singers is Joseph Parrish whose deeply resonant tone is never booming but rather subtly colored.” (Voce di Meche) Joseph’s artistry incorporates a unique blend of genre and performance methods, shining a light on his own experiences as a human being, so that people might recognize and see into themselves through his music. 

During the 2024/2025 season, as a Young Concert Artist, Joseph will make his New York City solo recital debut at Kaufman Music Center’s Merkin Hall. He joins MasterVoices to sing the role of Earl Mann’s Cellmate/Edward Vernon/Ensemble in Davenport Richards and Cote’s Blind Injustice and Town Hall NYC as James Baldwin in Sneed and Chilton’s The Tongue and the Lash. On the concert stage, Joseph performs as bass soloist in Händel’s Messiah with the Oratorio Society at Carnegie Hall, Christus in Bach’s St. Matthew Passion with Musica Sacra, and baritone soloist in Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with The Orchestra of St. Luke’s.

Last season, Joseph made his European opera debut with the Salzburg Festival as Potapitsch in Prokofiev’s The Gambler and his European solo recital debut at the Usedomer Festival. He also debuted on the main stage with Cincinnati Opera, singing Masetto in Mozart’s Don Giovanni, and joined Parlando NYC for a semi-staged production of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Mozart e Salieri, as Salieri.

Winner of the 2006 Australian National Piano Award, US born Iranian-Australian pianist Amir Farid has been described as “a highly creative musician – a pianist of great intelligence and integrity. He brings strong musical substance to all that he does, imbuing it with his own particular experience and understanding”, and who “in a well-populated field…distinguishes himself for all the right reasons”.

As one of the most versatile and loved musicians in Australia, the New York and Australian-based pianist has performed concerti with major orchestras, collaborating with conductors such as Christopher Hogwood, Oleg Caetani, Johannes Fritzsch, Alexander Briger, Marko Letonja and Benjamin Northey. Highlights include Rachmaninoff’s 2nd piano concerto with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in front of a 13,000-strong crowd at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, Mozart’s concerto No.14 with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and “The Mozart Dances” with the Mark Morris Dance Group and West Australian Symphony Orchestra as part of the 2015 Perth Festival.

Since graduating with distinction from the Royal College of Music London in 2009 with Andrew Ball, he has performed as a solo recitalist and collaborative artist in concert halls and festivals internationally, including Carnegie Hall New York, St. Martin in the Fields London, Mostly Mozart festival at Lincoln Center New York, Al-Hashemi-II Kuwait, MONA FOMA Festival Hobart, Coriole Festival SA, Huntington Festival NSW, as well as other venues in USA, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, New Zealand and China.
