Joseph Dowell has studied and enjoyed piano for most of his life. He was born, raised, and educated in Halifax. After his university studies he started teaching at Citadel Music and eventually his own private piano studio. In 2017 he joined the Halifax Music Co-Op as the piano faculty and ensemble leader. In 2019 he became the pianist and organist at Christ Church Dartmouth.
Since then, Joseph has collaborated with professionals and students from Dalhousie, MCPA, and more, primarily in strings and voice. One of his favourite projects is doing Opera from Scratch through Vocalypse productions which premieres new operas written about NS. Joseph has premiered several new contemporary operas. He plays regularly with cellist Anna Shabalina around the city performing music from around the world.
In February 2024 Joseph joined the Dalhousie Chorus as the pianist. He is excited to do it again this year along with Dal voice accompaniment.
