Called “one of the Boston music scene’s most valuable players” by The Art Fuse, Julian Loida is a percussionist, composer, and producer. Loida’s musical curiosity and open-mindedness has propelled him towards a wide-range of sounds, genres, and artistic endeavors. He’s performed jazz, folk, and classical, collaborating with dancers, visual artists, songwriters/composers, and musicians of all stripes. The thirst to participate in and experience this range of sounds is partly a product of Loida’s synesthesia. Music is a full- body experience for him, with sounds often invoking involuntary sensations of color, texture, or even taste.
An accomplished international performer, Loida has graced stages at prominent music festivals like Korrö in Sweden, Spoleto Festival USA, New World Festival, the Exit Zero jazz festival, Caramoor American Roots Festival, and various U.S. stages and events. He has premiered works by composers Helmut Lachenmann, Jennifer Higdon, and John Luther Adams. He has performed with groups such as Alarm Will Sound, Castle of Our Skins, Parsonsfield, the Callithumpian Consort, Tonina Saputo, Fabiola Mendez, Veronica Robles, Taylor Ashton, Alkinoos Ioannidis, Amanda Ekery, Rachel Sumner, Jenna Moynihan, Brian Calhoon, Atlys String Quartet, the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra, The New Bedford Symphony, and MassOpera.
He received his Master’s Degree in Classical Percussion from New England Conservatory and his Bachelor’s Degree in Classical Percussion from Indiana University’s Jacob’s School of Music.
