Joshua Romatowski, baroque flute
Joshua Romatowski, flutist, has been praised for his ability to “allow each note to sound with its own expressive qualities” (San Francisco Examiner). His playing has been described as “elegantly shaped” (San Francisco Examiner) and possessing “graceful intimacy” (San Francisco Classical Voice). Joshua was a winner of the Ladies Musical Club of Seattle Frances Walton Competition and a prize winner in the National Flute Association's Baroque Artist Competition. Joshua has appeared with American Bach Soloists in San Francisco, Portland Baroque Orchestra, the Byron Schenkman and Friends concert series in Seattle, Pacific Music Works, Seattle Baroque Orchestra, Victoria Baroque, Minnesota Bach Society, and Musikanten Montana. As a recording artist Joshua has received critical acclaim for his pair of Georg Philipp Telemann Flute Duet CD’s, with Early Music America saying “Ragusa and Romatowski play with an engaging sense of drama — it’s a continuous joy to ride the waves of their phrasing. Also impressive is their wide and quickly changing palette of colors.” Joshua currently holds the 3rd Flute/Piccolo chair with Symphony Tacoma and is a founding member of the period woodwind quintet Canova Winds. Joshua’s primary teachers have been Timothy Day(San Francisco Symphony), Marianne Gedigian(Boston Symphony), Jeffery Zook(Detroit Symphony), and period instruments with Janet See(Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique, Philharmonia Baroque).
