About Joy Street
concerts | dances | theatre | civic events
Joy Street is a new kind of orchestra.
We’re more than a dance band.
We’re more than a classical orchestra.
We’re more than a string quartet and more than a jazz ensemble.
We play all of this music – and so
much more – with brilliance and gusto.
Welcome to Joy Street.
Most musical ensembles focus on one or two genres: rock plus blues, for example, or all classical. Joy Street’s repertoire includes a dozen distinct genres of music – classical, jazz, sacred, blues, Latin, rock, folk, grand opera, polka, R & B, country, western swing – everything from Dmitri Shostakovich to Duke Ellington, from Van Morrison to Beethoven, from Hank Williams to Cole Porter, from Puccini to
Big Joe Turner—and so much more.
You’ll hear all of this on Joy Street.
Joy Street’s musicians have performed alongside some of the world’s greatest artists: Ray Charles, Yo-Yo Ma, Kay Starr,
Cab Calloway, Mark O’Conner, The Kingston Trio, Natalie Cole, The Temptations, The Paul Dresher Ensemble, Phil and Vivian Williams, Trimpin, The Eagles, Bobby McFerrin,
André Bocelli, as well as with Seattle Symphony, Seattle Opera, Houston Opera, Pacific Northwest Ballet, the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra and at the Kennedy Center.
