Audire Soundtrack Collective (Orchestra & Choir) is dedicated to fostering inclusive, community-driven musical experiences through the performance of music from visual media - video games, television, anime, musicals, and film. The ensemble bridges contemporary media scoring with live performances, creating an accessible entry point for audiences and performers alike. As the only ensemble at Berklee College of Music to offer sustained choral and orchestral collaboration centered on student-arranged repertoire, Audire provides a unique platform for emerging composers, arrangers, conductors, and performers to develop their craft in a professional, production-oriented environment.

As the former Music Director, Joshua Tan provided the artistic vision and leadership for the ensemble. His responsibilities included curating repertoire each semester, preparing and editing full orchestral and choral scores, and planning and leading sectional, orchestral, and combined rehearsals. He conducted the majority of orchestral and full-ensemble works, while also mentoring student arrangers to ensure musical integrity, playability, and stylistic authenticity across a wide range of genres. In addition to artistic leadership, Joshua played a key role in bridging the orchestra and choir, handling the ensemble’s logistical and organizational operations, assisting with booking performance venues and rehearsal spaces, coordinating concert schedules, and recruiting new musicians to support the ensemble’s continued growth.

As the Audire Soundtrack Collective expanded in both size and production scope, creative and musical talent were clearly not lacking. Joshua was thus appointed Finance and Operations Director to guide the ensemble’s long-term sustainability. In this role, he oversaw budgeting, financial planning, and operational strategy, ensuring that artistic ambitions aligned with available resources. He contributed to the development of internal systems for ensemble management, improved rehearsal workflows, and supported scalable production planning for larger performances. Through this combined artistic and administrative leadership, Joshua helped position Audire as a flagship student-led ensemble at Berklee, capable of delivering high-quality, large-scale performances while maintaining a strong sense of community, collaboration, and educational value.
