Summer 2024 includes Goosby’s debut with New York Philharmonic with Thomas Wilkins performing Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto, and he returns to Marlboro Music. Previous engagements have included debut performances with Boston Symphony Orchestra/​Andris Nelsons, National Symphony/​Thomas Wilkins, Pittsburgh Symphony/​Manfred Honeck, Seattle Symphony and St Louis Symphony both under Christian Reif, a European tour with Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra under Yannick Nezet-Seguin, Danish National Radio Symphony/Jukka-Pekka Saraste, Oslo Philharmonic/​Ryan Wigglesworth and Lahti Symphony/​Roderick Cox. Goosby made his debuts in South Korea in recital and in Japan with Orchestra Ensemble Kanazawa/​Kahchun Wong performing Bruch Violin Concerto in G minor.

In spring 2023, Goosby’s debut concerto album was released for Decca Classics together with Yannick Nézet-Séguin and Philadelphia Orchestra performing the violin concertos by Max Bruch and Florence Price. Gramophone Magazine observed: ​“There’s an honesty and modesty…This playing isn’t dressed to impress but to express.” 

Goosby’s first album for Decca, entitled ​‘Roots’, is a celebration of African-American music which explores its evolution from the spiritual through to present-day compositions. Collaborating with pianist Zhu Wang, Goosby curated an album paying homage to the pioneering artists that paved the way for him and other artists of colour. It features three world-premiere recordings of music written by African-American composer Florence Price, and includes works by composers William Grant Still and Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson plus a newly commissioned piece by acclaimed double bassist Xavier Foley, a fellow Sphinx and Young Concert Artists alumnus. ​“Roots: Deluxe Edition” was released in spring 2024 and features new recordings of music by Carlos Simon, William Grant Still and Florence Price. 

Goosby is deeply passionate about inspiring and serving others through education, social engagement and outreach activities. He has enjoyed working with non-profit organizations such as the Opportunity Music Project and Concerts in Motion in New York City, as well as participating in community engagement programs for schools, hospitals and assisted living facilities across the United States. In 2022/23 Goosby hosted a residency with the Iris Collective in Memphis with pianist, Zhu Wang. Together they explore how the students’ family history can relate to music and building community collaboration through narrative and performances.
