Joseph Ehrenpreis is a performer on the 8-string “Brahms Guitar”, an instrument that was invented by David Rubio and Paul Galbraith in 1994. He is gaining an international reputation for his performances and premieres of new repertoire for the 8-string “Brahms Guitar”.

His 2024 season included a seven city tour with seventeen dates in Japan, as well as performances at Yale University's Morse Recital Hall.

It is Joseph’s hope that music and sound will help to promote peace and solidarity in the world.

Music

I play music that I would like to listen to. I would consider myself an indie classical musician, as I believe there are many definitions to what concert music can be. In my discography, I have recorded music by composers from around the world including Nigeria, Iceland, and Mexico.
