Composer, arranger, copyist, and saxophonist Joseph Herbst uses music as a medium for storytelling, often as part of collaborative projects, in order to push ourselves to see the world in different ways while strengthening our sense of community. In 2021, Joseph released his debut album, This is Our Environment, an evolving project that brings together original music, spoken word, and environmental justice in order to challenge our understanding of the environment to push us towards a more just and equitable society founded on a sense of community. Joseph leads his own big band and tridectet (13-piece ensemble).

“from the shadows” tells a story of change. Planting seeds of growth in the imagination. Finding hope in uncertainty. Embracing your honest emotions to more fully understand and become yourself.
