Joel Lambdin
Based in Manhattan, Joel’s primary focus as a musician has been chamber music. After graduating from UNC School of the Arts, he established a series in Harrisburg, PA that focused on bringing standard and new chamber repertoire to new audiences through alternative venues and interactive concerts. Harrisburg audiences were thus able to get to know great artists like Kurt Nikkanen, Daniel Gaisford, Tom Kraines and many others in new and personal ways. In Brooklyn, he continued that work with a project focused on underrepresented composers, his own music, and commissions. He collaborated with Missy Mazzoli, Sarah Kirkland Snyder, and Lainie Fefferman among others. He also joined the metal band Resolution15, where he played electric violin as well as contributing songs.
As a freelancer, Joel has performed on and Off- Broadway, with the American Symphony Orchestra, American Ballet Theater, on the Radio City New York Spectacular, as well as with a broad variety of chamber orchestras and theater projects. He served as a Teaching Artist for the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center for 15 years, and maintains a private teaching studio.
