About
Joseph Rubenstein, composer, pianist, and founder of Keys to the Future, is committed to bringing the music of our time to as wide an audience as possible.
Born in 1969, he is a longtime resident of the New York metropolitan area. His expressive compositions combine carefully sculpted melodies, propulsive rhythmic drive, and a subtle harmonic blend derived equally from contemporary sources and music of the past.
He has recently completed Book I of his Romances (the first of a projected three Books). He will present the world premiere of Romance no. 3 (labyrinth) at the Keys to the Future Festival on Tuesday May 19, 2009. Mr. Rubenstein’s compositions have been performed at Weill Recital Hall, Greenwich House’s Renee Weiler Concert Hall, the May in Miami Festival, Yale University, New York University, Makor, Artspace, Bard College, the Society of Composers Festival, and many other venues. In 2008, he received grants from the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust and the Yale School of Music’s new AlumniVentures program.
Joseph performs contemporary music on a regular basis in New York, and has also played in a variety of jazz and musical theater venues. Mr. Rubenstein earned his doctorate at the Yale School of Music (2001), and has been on the faculty of the Greenwich House Music School since 1997.
