Joshua Beacom (b. 2001) is a composer, pianist, and conductor from Northeast Ohio. As a film composer, he has worked with many directors and several independent film studios while garnering a reputation as a musical chameleon, able to compose in a wide variety of forms and styles. Films he has composed for have gone on to accumulate several awards and nominations. His concert works encompass many genres and ensembles (chamber, orchestral, and solo works,) but he particularly focuses on choral music as a prime mode for communicating his passion for historically informed counterpoint and spiritual principles. He has also produced several works for vocal jazz ensemble.
