Dr. Joshua Bermudez has been passionate about classical music since he can remember. Although his undergraduate degree was in business, he remained highly active in music, studying cello with the late Dr. James Stroud, playing in the university and local orchestras, establishing the school’s official string quartet, and producing a daily classical music radio show. After graduation, he formed a chamber ensemble, Con Brio which performed yearly concerts in the Chattanooga, TN area.
Dr. Bermudez completed a master’s degree in Musicology at the University of Maryland before finishing a second master’s degree in cello performance, studying with Benjamin Karp at the University of Kentucky. There he performed with the Niles String Quartet, was co-principal of the UK Symphony Orchestra, and was a substitute cellist in the Lexington Philharmonic. He recently completed his doctoral degree at the Cincinnati College- Conservatory of Music, where he studied with Ilya Finkelshteyn, principal cellist of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Dr. Bermudez is the co-founder of the historically-informed ensemble Seven Hills Baroque, in which he plays baroque cello.
