ARTIST BIOGRAPHIES Hailed for his “inspiring energy, clear musical conviction, and warm lyrical tone” (International Trombone Association Journal), Josh Bynum keeps an active schedule balancing roles as educator, soloist, chamber musician, and orchestral trombonist. In addition to serving as Professor of Trombone at the University of Georgia, a position he has held since 2010, Josh spends his summer as Trombone Artist / Faculty for the Sewanee Summer Music Festival and is an Artist & Clinician for the Edwards Instrument Company.

Josh performs regularly as a first-call substitute with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and was contracted to serve as second trombonist for the entire 2015- 16 season. Highlights with the ASO include two commercial recordings featuring the music of Jonathan Leshnoff and Christopher Theofanidis, as well as a sold-out Carnegie Hall performance of Johannes Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem in celebration of Robert Shaw’s legacy. Bynum is also a member of the IRIS Orchestra, under the direction of Michael Stern, and enjoys performing with the Charleston Symphony Orchestra, Atlanta Opera, and Atlanta Ballet Orchestra.

Josh has given clinics and featured performances at the American Trombone Workshop, International Trombone Festival, and Georgia Music Educators Association Conference. He has also been an invited artist and lecturer at various workshops and universities across the country and has given consortium premiere performances of several new works for trombone and wind ensemble. His solo CD Catalyst was the recipient of the UGA Creative Research Medal in Arts & Humanities and predominantly features previously unrecorded works for trombone. His contemporary chamber group the [MOD]ular Ensemble is featured on the album New Cartography, performing the music of Peter Van Zandt Lane.

He holds degrees from Temple University, the University of Iowa, and Jacksonville State University, is the editor for the ITA Journal’s Pedagogy Corner column and serves on the ITA Pedagogy Advisory Council. His research interests include concepts of great section playing and creative problem solving in the practice room. www.joshbynum.com A native of Moscow, Anatoly Sheludyakov graduated from the Gnesin’s Musical Academy and completed doctoral studies there under professor Anatoly Vedernikov. He also graduated from the Moscow Conservatory in the composition class of Tikhon Khrennikov. His compositions include Variations for Orchestra, Ostinato for Orchestra, Suite for Oboe and Piano, Suite for Violin and Piano, the cantata Brotherhood Songs, Trombone Quartet, six vocal suites, and many other compositions.

Sheludyakov was winner of the 1977 Russian National Piano Competition and, in 1999, was awarded the name “Honored Artist of the Russian Federation.” He has performed solo concerts with orchestras, solo recitals, and chamber music in the most prestigious concert halls in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other major cities throughout Russia, Germany, France, Italy, China, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Australia and the USA. He has recorded twenty-five CDs of piano solo and chamber music and has performed on Russian Television and Radio. His repertoire includes the major works for piano, piano and orchestra, and piano chamber music of the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Contemporary periods.

Prior to his UGA appointment, Sheludyakov was assistant professor of piano at the Gnesin Institute of Moscow and maintained a private piano studio. A vocalist as well as a pianist, Sheludyakov was active as a church musician, and performed authentic folk music as a soloist with the Pokrovsky Ensemble.
