Attended January 28, 2017 Bellflower Symphony Orchestra concert, NIGHT
AT THE OPERA. Unyielding to chemotherapy, Maestro Joseph Taylor continues to conduct the Bellflower Symphony Orchestra since 1991. Joseph
Taylor's commitment to education and classical music has earned him
respect in multiple communities. A retired teacher of music, mathematics
and English from the Los Angeles and Compton Unified School Districts,
Joseph Taylor continues to teach private music students. He coaches
students at Centennial High School in Compton, the Watts-Willowbrook
Boys & Girls Club Music Conservatory, the Compton Conservatory of
Music, and Wildwood Music Camps.
Joseph Taylor has
held the titles of principal violist for the Peninsula Symphony,
concertmaster of Holman United Methodist Church Chamber Orchestra,
principal violist of Vineyard Opera, cellist in the Southeast Symphony
Orchestra, and conductor of MusicUNTOLD Orchestra. The National
Association of Negro Musicians awarded Joseph Taylor the 2014 National
Achievement Award in Music Education. His nurturing of youngsters has
impacted many who have become successful musicians while some simply
appreciated music but became doctors, lawyers, nurses, teachers and
other professionals. See photo following NIGHT AT THE OPERA concert from
