Josh Cohen Baroque Trumpet
Josh Cohen has been a greatly sought after principal/solo baroque trumpeter in leading North American Early Music Ensembles for almost 15 years. As J. Reilly Lewis states, “Josh proves his mettle time and again as a master of Baroque rhetoric and stylistic abandon.” Josh most recently once again played Bach's Mass in B minor along with the Washington Bach Consort which was given a terrific review in the Washington Post. In December of 2009, he played Messiah at the National Cathedral and in Baltimore rounding out a very busy year.
Mr. Cohen specializes in the playing of the florid and high in tessitura clarino parts on the baroque trumpet. He has appeared as Solo/Principal baroque trumpet for the following Ensembles: Studio de Musique Ancienne de Montreal, Arion, Bach Festival of Rhode Island, Bach Festival of Montreal, New York State Baroque Ensemble, Les Idees Heuruese de Montreal, Ensemble Caprice, Tempo Rubato, Handel Choir of Baltimore, International Festival of Baroque Music at Lameque, Houston Bach Ensemble, National Cathedral Baroque Orchestra, Ensemble Telemann, Aston Magna and the Washington Bach Consort.
