Joel Hastings (July 22, 1969 – May 26, 2016) was a Canadian pianist and faculty member at Florida State University's College of Music. He was the winner of the 8th International Web Concert Hall Competition[1] in 2006 and the 1993 International Bach Competition at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.[1]

Hastings performed solo recitals across Canada and the United States, while his orchestral engagements included the Toronto Philharmonic, the Huntsville Festival Orchestra, and the Ann Arbor Concert Band. As a collaborative artist he toured internationally with vocal ensembles, performing in such venues as the Vatican and St. Paul's Cathedral.[citation needed]

His CDs include Sessions (2002), Liszt Transcending (2005), Chopin 24 Etudes (2005), and Songs and Dances (2008). He was recognized[by whom?] for his recordings of the piano transcriptions of Franz Liszt and the music of French composer Jean Roger-Ducasse.
