Joseph Tawadros

Picture
Joseph Tawadros is one of the world’s leading oud performers and composers, his style of playing fuses the Arabic Maqam system with western jazz and improvisation. His drive to push musical boundaries has led to collaborations with renowned performers including Kate Miller-Heidke, Katie Noonan, Zakir Hussain, Sultan Khan, John Patitucci, Jack DeJohnette and Richard Bona. He has recorded 14 albums and is known for his brilliant technique, deep musicianship and joyous style of performance as well as his solid repertoire of innovative, original music. Joseph tours extensively regularly headlining across Europe, America, Asia and the Middle East.

Joseph Tawadros is acknowledged for expanding the oud’s notoriety in mainstream western culture and he’s also received recognition in the Arab world, appearing on the judging panel of the Damascus International Oud competition in 2009, and taking part in Istanbul’s first Oud festival in 2010.

Joseph Tawadros' 2021 album 'Hope In An Empty City' won a 2021 ARIA Award for BEST WORLD MUSIC ALBUM and has been nominated for the 2022 AIR Award for BEST INDEPENDENT JAZZ ALBUM OR EP.

In August 2022, Joseph Tawadros and William Barton released "History Has A Heartbeat". Joseph Tawadros (Oud) and Yidaki (Didj) master William Barton bring two ancient cultures together in a unique collaboration alongside other superb musicians - Leonard Grigoryan, James Tawadros and Sam Golding. This first-time combination of Arabic Egyptian Oud and Indigenous Australian Yidaki is a truly unique collaboration. These ancient instruments join forces in an unlikely and dynamic pairing creating a new authentic voice in Australian music.
