ABOUT ÉROS
Joseph Rebman’s debut album, Éros, is an exploration of emotion and memory by eight living composers through the lens of solo harp: Carly Sage, Nailah Nombeko, Kyle Wernke, Joseph Rebman, Daniel Perttu, Mackenzie Jacob LaMont, Seolhee (Snow) Kim, and Catherine Neville. Love and romance are common threads throughout the album led by the titular track which is one of the many Greek words for love. These eight works explore the sonic landscape and intrinsic character of the classical harp.
Joseph Rebman is a harpist and composer specializing in the music of living composers. 30 pieces for solo harp have been written for him, and he has been involved in the premiere of countless chamber works over his 20+ year career as a harpist. As harp faculty of the Mostly Modern Festival and member of the American Modern Ensemble, Rebman is constantly working with rising composers and advocates for creative and idiomatic writing for the harp. He has given lectures and masterclasses on how to write for the harp to students at multiple conservatories, universities, and summer festivals. His compositions have received multiple awards, with his proudest achievement being the premiere of his concerto “Hyperion” for harp and orchestra.
