Joseph's Reviews

"Working with Joe has been an absolute joy. He able to work quickly and to a very high standard. He is also a wonderful collaborator, always pushing to help enhance my vision. Joe is equally adept at arrangements, orchestrations and musical direction and is an asset to any creative team."

I have worked with and commissioned Joseph Church, over the last few years countless times as an orchestrator. I find his excellent musical ear hard to match in the industry, producing very accurate and clear scores while his attention to detail is clear to see in all of his work, not only in excellent musicianship but also in the way he lays out his scores, making sight reading a joy to the musicians who play his work. I whole heartedly recommend him as a first rate musician and orchestrator
