Biography
Dr. Joshua Glasner, baritone, currently serves as Visiting Assistant Professor of Music at Coastal Carolina University where he teaches applied voice to students studying Musical Theatre, Western Classical, and Contemporary Commercial Music (CCM) styles. He previously held an adjunct appointment at New York University; teaching applied voice lessons and class voice, and has taught courses in vocal pedagogy and voice research & technology at the University of Delaware, Westminster Choir College's Summer Voice Pedagogy Institute, and the Borough of Manhattan Community College. In Summer 2020, he will be on faculty at the Westminster Choir College Summer Voice Pedagogy Institute and the Acoustic Voice Pedagogy Workshop at New England Conservatory.
Dr. Glasner's multidisciplinary research involves topics ranging from historical recording technology as it relates the the singing voice to spectral analysis of different styles of singing (specifically various Musical Theatre and Western Classical styles). In 2016, he was selected to present his dissertation topic at the Voice Foundation's New Investigator Research Forum where he received mentoring by leaders in the voice science community. Since then, Dr. Glasner's work has been presented a various national and international conferences including the Voice Foundation Symposium in Philadelphia, PA and the International Congress of Voice Teachers in Stockholm, Sweden. His dissertation was completed in collaboration with the Thomas Edison National Historical Park (West Orange, NJ) and with the help of professional opera singers in New York City. It used modern signal processing methods to help the field of vocal pedagogy understand historical singing techniques given the limitations of historical recording technology. More recently, Dr. Glasner's research has branched into studying listener perception of singing, historical vocal pedagogy, the transgender singing voice, and teaching efficacy.
As a performer, Dr. Glasner most recently sang the role of Don Pedro in Asheville Lyric Opera's production of Béatrice et Bénédict (Berlioz). He has also portrayed Guglielmo in Cosi fan tutte, the title role in Don Giovanni, and Dr. Cajus in Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor (Nicolai). He performed as part of the Westminster Symphonic Choir with the Berlin Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the New Jersey Symphonic Orchestra, and has sung as a soloist with the Reading Symphony Orchestra. In addition to Western operatic repertoire, Dr. Glasner is passionate about song repertoire; having performed Schubert's Winterreise in its entirety in 2018 in recital in New York City.
