Joseph Hallman is a Philadelphian composer who has worked with some of today's most talented musicians and artists on concert programs both nationally and internationally.
Hallman’s series of chamber concerti were composed for members of the Philadelphia Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, Pittsburgh Symphony, and Cleveland Orchestra. Akin to Bach’s Brandenburg
Concertos and Hindemith's Kammermusik, these pieces have won acclaim for their wit and strength.
Among his most prominent collaborations, Hallman has composed multiple concerti and chamber and
solo works for the internationally acclaimed cellist Alisa Weilerstein, winner of a 2011 MacArthur
“Genius” Grant. The live premiere recording of The St. Petersburg Concerto is available on iTunes and all
other major digital distributors.
Hallman’s work with poets, in particular Jessica Hornik and Vermont Poet Laureate Sydney Lea, has
inspired strong relationships and works for voices and chamber ensembles. The Inscape Chamber Music
Project, on the Sono Luminos label, recorded and released Three Poems of Jessica Hornik and imagined
landscapes: six Lovecraftian elsewheres, which was then nominated for a Grammy award.
Hallman continues to write prolifically for chamber musicians and orchestras across the country and
world.
