ABOUT

Joel de Candio is a New York-Based actor working internationally in theatre and arthouse cinema. He made his film debut starring in Kenya Gillespie's 16 mm tone poem Give (Official Selection: Aesthetica 2023; Jury Prize: KASHISH Mumbai 2024; Best International: New Renaissance Amsterdam 2024), followed by He Won't Belong (Official Selection: Tacoma Film Festival 2023), All the Rest Is Noise (PHYNEfilms, Berlin), and Delicious (Official Selection: Austin Film Festival 2024; New York Latino Film Festival 2024). He has recently wrapped shooting on Fixed Memory and the psychological thriller Stickup.

In addition to his work as an actor, Joel is an accomplished pianist and vocalist with a background in French mélodie and contemporary classical music, as well as the work of Stephen Sondheim. Following a successful 2023 concert collaboration with The Green Room 42—an examination of sexual politics and relationships lensed through Sondheim’s work—he returns in 2024 with Sondheim at the Piano—an exploration of drama, themes, and musical motifs in which piano interludes intertwine among some of Sondheim’s greatest pieces.
