About
Matthew Barley made an early London concerto debut, playing the Shostakovich Cello Concerto with the London Symphony Orchestra, as finalist of the LSO-Shell Competition. Since then his solo and chamber music engagements have taken him to nearly 50 countries, performing repertoire ranging from Bach to his own compositions, music written for him and improvisation. He has recorded for Black Box, Quartz, Navras and FMR, receiving unanimously enthusiastic reviews.
2007 saw Matthew’s debut on television as the Music Director and presenter of BBC 2’s widely acclaimed ‘Classical Star’.
Julian Joseph has established himself as a jazz pioneer in the classical world. He was the first jazz musician to be invited to give a series of all-acoustic concerts at London's most prestigious classical venue, the Wigmore Hall. He has recorded duets by Milhaud, Stravinsky and Poulenc with Brazilian pianist Marcelo Bratke, combining them with his own arrangements of music by Duke Ellington, Chick Corea and Bill Evans, and collaborated with concert violinist Viktoria Mullova. As a soloist, he has given recitals of Bartók and Prokofiev sonatas and performed Gershwin's Piano Concerto and Rhapsody in Blue with some of the best symphony orchestras in Europe. At the same time, Julian's own classically-oriented work never ventures too far away from his jazz focus, building on the legacy of the great jazz composers: Duke Ellington, Gil Evans, Herbie Hancock and Jaco Pastorius.
Off the concert platform, he is in constant demand as a broadcaster and presenter. His weekly radio show, 'Jazz Legends' for BBC Radio 3, ran from April 2000 to February 2007. In 2007 he joined BBC Radio 3's 'Jazz Line-Up' team. He is the recipient of numerous music awards and makes significant contributions to educational and outreach work.
