Joshua Roman is a cellist, accomplished composer, and curator whose performances embrace musical styles from Bach to Radiohead. Before setting off on his unique path as a soloist, Roman was the Seattle Symphony’s principal cellist, a job he began at 22-years-old. He has since become renowned for his genre-bending repertoire and wide-ranging collaborations. Roman was named a TED senior fellow in 2015. His live performance of the complete Six Suites for Solo Cello by J.S. Bach on TED’s Facebook page garnered 1.8 million live viewers, with millions more for his mainstage TED talks and performances, including an improvisational performance with Tony-winner and MacArthur Genius Grant recipient Bill T. Jones and East African vocalist Somi.
