Welcome Josh Miller!
Josh Miller (he/they) is excited to be joining CCRP as the new Choirmaster & Organist. For the past decade, he has worked as an opera stage director at many of our country’s leading opera companies. They recently moved to Philadelphia to serve as the Dean of Students at the Academy of Vocal Arts. Located in Rittenhouse Square and founded in 1934, AVA trains two dozen of the world’s most promising opera solo artists, ranging in age from 24 to 30 years old, across a four-year tuition-free performance degree. Josh completed his doctoral studies at the University of Texas at Austin, a master’s degree from Ohio State University and their undergrad at Marshall University, located in his home state of West Virginia. Aside from music, they love cooking & baking, traveling, taking in stand-up comedy and snuggling with his two spoiled pugs, Charlie and Charlotte.
Josh is fine with masculine pronouns, like he, but also welcomes
and sometimes uses the neutral form, like they, in solidarity with people who
use the neutral form, so they don’t feel so alone and ‘other’.
