Passionately performed music can open up the heart and free the soul. Modern interpretative dance, in all forms, are the ultimate expression of the human form, in all its liberation and limitations. When the two combine in a symbiotic way, what’s created can be something quite extraordinary and deeply moving.<\/p>\n

Josh Knowles<\/a><\/strong> is a Boston-based contemporary violinist and songwriter, with an impressive CV that includes violinist and arranger for the Boston Ballet; lead vocals, violin shredding and songwriting for Boston folk rock band Nemes<\/a><\/strong>; violin, voice and piano teacher at Boston School of Music Arts; co-founder, violinist and arranger for cello\/violin duo String Along; teacher, composer and arranger for the Roxbury Youth Orchestra and collaborative work with professional dancers for Cirio Collective<\/a><\/strong>, in addition to arrangements for various artists and performances at Berklee College.<\/p>\n

Even with all that, Knowles has found time to work on his own solo electric violin compositions, recently releasing Spin Without a Sound<\/a><\/strong> (which can also be listened to on Spotify<\/a><\/strong>). In this stark, poignant video for “Great Blue World,” his stirring and evocative music is beautifully interpreted in a powerful choreographed dance by former Boston Ballet soloist Sabi Varga.<\/p>\n
