Meet the soloist: Josiah Tugaoen!

Josiah Tugaoen, a homeschooled senior in high school, found his love for the cello when he was six years old, following his older brothers’ passion for music. He joined CMC in 2017 and has been a core member of the fellowship program since 2022 under the direction of Deborah Price. He has been a member of the Lumen and Solace String Quartets, where he competed in several regional and national chamber music competitions. In 2025 Josiah cofounded SMILE, the Student Music Initiative for Local Elderly, alongside two fellow CMC students, bringing live chamber music to senior living communities around Columbus. Outside of CMC, he is a member of the New Albany Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Maestro Luis Biava and Columbus Symphony Orchestra, the former of which he served as the principal cellist since 2025 with director Elias Miller. Josiah currently studies with Columbus Symphony cellist Pei-An Chao, and he performs on a cello made by himself and his father, completed in 2025.
