on Tuesday, May 26th from 7 to 8:30 pm @ the Workshop Gallery in Building 3 at Ball & Socket Arts.

About the Instructor:

Hey there! My name is Joel Willson.

I’m a composer, songwriter, and violinist.

What I do

I compose music

I write songs

I play the violin

I perform live

I teach

I make films 

Accolades

Over the years, I’ve scored for award-winning indie films, performed in some amazing venues, was a PreSonus featured performer for NAMM, and most recently performed at Jazz Fest.   

More about me…  

I was born in Baton Rouge, LA, and studied Violin at Louisiana State University. I’m an NBA fan, my favorite Beatle is George Harrison, and I listen to all types of music, but classical music has a special place in my heart–I have a tattoo of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring on my left arm.
