Jean-Baptiste JOSSA

Violinist - Violist - Composer

I'm a performer and teacher from France. Currently based in Auckland, New Zealand, I perform regularly as a violinist / violist and compose for all types of musical formats combining music with other arts (dance, theater, musicals, video...)

Emocean - An international composer project

'Emocean' is a collaboration of 25 composers from around the world joining together 2min work each to create a large, single piece. I have been chosen to represent France in this project !

Each composers' piece will add together to create a singular 50min performance, with each work representing an emotion, scored for a small chamber ensemble. Throughout 2025 this work is lined up to be performed by ensembles across Australia, Netherlands, Italy, Finland and Poland!

New works for Taonga Pūoro !

I'm thrilled to present my new work "Te Reranga a Hihi", for Viola and Taonga Pūoro which has been premiered in Wellington in may, and will be performed at the 49th international Viola congress in Brazil in July 2024 !

My orchestral pieces

Musical Theater

Nos années Ensemble

May 11, 12 & 13 2023

Paris, Clavel Theater

Musical show in which I assume the music direction, conducting 5 musicians: Piano, bass, guitar, 2 cellos, while playing the violin part.

Nos années Ensemble is a powerful and poignant story of two artists and their love affair. A universal story enhanced by a deeply moving score played by a live orchestra and two lead singers.
