This very evening, Pro Arte Chorale begins its 2011-2012 season with its new conductor, Joshua Greene. Greene steps to the podium as musical director of Pro Arte Chorale after a year-long search by Chorale members and others.
From a musical family, he comes with good credentials. His father, Herbert Greene, conducted the original “Music Man” on Broadway, for which he won a Tony Award. His mother, Lucy Greene, was a concert pianist and teacher. Josh began studying piano when he was six. “I’ve been in music school all my life,” he says happily. As a child, he sang the role of the Third Spirit in “The Magic Flute” at the New York City Opera with Beverly Sills as Queen of the Night. A boy soprano, he toured the United States, Canada and Japan with the American Boychoir.
He received his bachelors of music in Orchestral Conducting from the Mannes College of Music; his masters of music in Orchestral Conducting from the Manhattan School of Music and pursued further studies at Juilliard and at Aspen Music School.
