“Joshua Lawlor grabbed the audience with his impressive voice... Rich, round and full of color, it made the ear sit up and pay attention.”
KC Stage
“Lawlor's tone was robust and floated over the audience, turning heads with his first recitative notes.”

“Joshua Lawlor stood out for his dramatic voice control and stage presence... he was the rock upon which this production stood.”  
The Outpost, Billings, MT
​“All four soloists for this part of the concert sang admirably... Joshua Lawlor was particularly impressive; his voice, strong and expressive, rang throughout the cathedral and brought the text to life.”

​Musicianship and an instinctive musicality have established a frequent place for Kansas City-native Joshua Lawlor on the oratorio and recital stages. He has sung with many of the city's most respected concert organizations and consistently delivers sincere solo performances as our flourishing arts community explores fresh repertoire, both ancient and modern. Concert performances include Bach's St. Matthew Passion and Ich habe genug, Brahms' German Requiem, Mendelssohn's Elijah, the Fauré Requiem, and Ernest Bloch’s stirring setting of the Reform Judaism's Sabbath morning service Avodath Hakodesh, as well as many other works from the common oratorio repertoire. Strong musical skill has also allowed for the breadth of modern music in Mr. Lawlor's repertoire; he has created leading roles in six chamber operas and has sung the premiere of many songs, cycles, and larger-form concert works.

His studio of young voice students has been recognized for fine singing and strong preparation. Those wishing to pursue a career in music have placed in national classical singing competitions, gained entrance to some of the country's most notable conservatories, and made their own professional debuts.
