Joe Ferrante is a pianist whose original compositions are a unique fusion of the classical, pop, soundtrack and jazz genres. His debut album "Stories Without Words" (March 2013) will feature Joe at the piano performing original compositions with orchestra entirely in the new "fusion" genre. Joe has a formal background in music as a concert pianist, film and classical composer and has composed original orchestral music for numerous indie, USC and AFI thesis films as well as a collection of concert works.

Joe studied film scoring at USC, where he composed, orchestrated and conducted seven original orchestral scores with professional orchestra at Paramount Pictures as part of the Scoring for Motion Pictures and Television graduate program. Joe also earned a Bachelor of Music in Theory & Composition from USC. Joe studied piano performance in New York and France with Jeaneane Dowis-Lipman, formerly of the Juilliard School. Joe also studied Piano at Mannes College of Music in Manhattan.

In 2004, Joe founded the "Joe Ferrante Music Academy", which today provides music lessons to over four hundred students in the Los Angeles area and offers scholarships to needy and underprivileged children.
