Contact Joel Michael-Schwartz

In order to contact Joel Michael-Schwartz, you'll need an approved host account.

I am an eclectic, curious mandolinist, composer, and strings specialist. I studied mandolin and composition at Goucher College, and have studied with mandolin greats Don Steirnberg and David Evans. I perform in a wide variety of genres, from classical to funk, and from flamenco to jazz. This eclecticism informs my performances and my composing. I have a particular focus on the art of solo and small group performance, which has led me to focus on non-traditional chamber music. I work as a performing musician and teacher in Baltimore, spreading the love of music, and striving to bring passion, artistry, and good humor to all my artistic endeavors.

Traditional Repertoire

-Classical with a focus on Italian mandolin repertoire and world music:
L.v. Beethoveen, Carlo Munier, Raffaele Calace, J.S. Bach, Brian Israel, Astor Piazzolla, G.P. Telemann
-Jazz (swing, bebop, and latin)
