Joseph Galasso, Guitar

Biography

Joseph was introduced to both the piano and the classical guitar at an early age and went on to pursue formal classical guitar studies (1985) with David Grimes (former President of the Guitar Foundation of America, tutelage under Oscar Ghiglia), and (1982) with Peter Kraus, Film Score for the movie ‘10’, Ravel’s Bolero for solo classical guitar. (See Título por Autor: Arabesque No.1 'Pastiche on Bolero' for Solo Guitar). He has composed several pieces for chamber orchestra, piano and solo guitar, and most recently a Guitar Concerto entitled 'Fragments on a Waltz' (2022). Joseph had a brief one-year stint as a part-time studio composer (1985, Lion Share recording studio) with collaborations with Vocalist/Song-writer Kin Vassy (The First Edition), Guitarist Eric Mcclure (Secret Sity), and Tata Vega (The Film 'Lion King', Spanish Language, 1994).

These three guitar selections uploaded to ClassicalConnect (Villa-Lobos, Tarrega, and Ravel) were recorded in 1990 (photos, Paris 1990).
