The Concert Artists Guild (CAG) has signed US violinist Joshua Brown for worldwide management. This comes as a result of the organisation’s year-round artist selection process.

Brown is currently studying an artist diploma at the New England Conservatory of Music with Donald Weilerstein, after earning both his bachelor’s and master’s at the institution. Former teachers include Almita and Roland Vamos at the Music Institude of Chicago. 

The violinist is the recipient of several major awards such as first prize at the 2023 Global Music Education International Violin Competition in Beijing, China, second prize and both audience awards at the 2024 Queen Elisabeth Competition and most recently, a Avery Fisher Career Grant this year. 

As a soloist, he has performed with leading orchestras including the Munich Radio Orchestra, MDR Sinfonieorchester, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Civic Orchestra, Belgian National Orchestra and Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liege, among others.

He has also appeared at various concert series and international festivals as a recitalist and chamber musician, such as Festival Musiq3 in Brussels, the Tchaikovsky Festival in Moscow, ProMusica series in Mexico, Matinée Musicale series in Cincinnati, Jupiter Chamber Players series in New York City, and the North Shore Chamber Music Festival.

Other prominent string players on the CAG roster include violinists Nathan Amaral, Hana Chang, Njioma Grevious and Nathan Meltzer, cellist Leland Ko, bassist Nina Bernat and the Cerus and Katarina string quartets.
