Cellist Sr. Claudio Bohórquez. Cellist Sr. Lluís Claret Serra. Cellist Sr. Josep M. Escribano Casaldàliga. Pianist Secretary Jordi Pardo. Director general of the Pau Casals Foundation PABLO CASALS INTERNATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP 2016 FOUNDATION Marta Casals Istomin Marta Montañez was born in 1936 in the city of Humacao, Puerto Rico. At the age of five she began to play the violin and when she was nine, encouraged by her uncle, the music critic Rafael Montañez, she took up the cello. When she was ten she moved to San Juan de Puerto Rico, where she began her music studies with Professor Rafael Figueroa and shortly afterwards she continued with the cello at the Mannes College of Music in New York, under the direction of Professor Lieff Rosanoff. In 1952, accompanied by her uncle and Rosanoff, she made her first journey to Prades to meet the maestro Pau Casals. Impressed by the young cellist’s ability he recommended her to come back to be his pupil once she had completed her higher cello studies in New York. In 1955 she returned to Prades to begin taking classes with Casals. Very soon she became his trusted assistant, learned French and Catalan and began to help him with his correspondence. The same year she accompanied him on his first journey to Puerto Rico, her mother’s homeland, and for the next two years they were never apart. In August 1957 they were married. Through the sixteen years of their marriage she accompanied Casals at all his concerts and events and became a great support in his life. She helped him with the planning and preparation of the Prades and Puerto Rico Festivals, with the master classes in Zermatt and Marlboro and, from 1960, she went with him to the 30 performances of El Pessebre which he directed all round the world. In Puerto Rico she worked on setting up the Symphony Orchestra, the Conservatory of Music and the Casals Festival, of which she became director when he died. During all that time at their home in Isla Verde the couple welcomed many Catalans who wanted to share with them their hope that one day their country would recover all its freedoms. In 1972 they created the Pau Casals Foundation with the aim of preserving his legacy in Catalonia.

  • Joseph Kuipers Is One of the Rare Musical Voices of Today: the Fresh Sincerity of His Playing, Combined with Technical Sovereignty Over the Instrument
    “Joseph Kuipers is one of the rare musical voices of today: the fresh sincerity of his playing, combined with technical sovereignty over the instrument. He draws a dark, singing sound out of his Ceruti Cello, and creates lines that seem to float effortlessly.” Berliner Abend Post American cellist Joseph Kuipers is renowned for his creativity and versatility in his captivating performances on both modern and gut strings. Appearing at festivals and music centers around the globe, he has performed at the Ravinia Music Festival, Aspen Music Festival, Les Festival International du Domaine Forget, Kronberg Academy, Ascoli Piceno Festival, Carl Orff Festival, and the World Cello Congress. Equally at home with modern and baroque performance styles, and often juxtaposing them in concert programs, Joseph has worked extensively with living composers, among them Robert Cogan, Heinz Holliger, Helmut Lachenmann and Arvo Part: and has performed with the Ensemble für Neue Musik Basel, Neue Musik Ensemble Mannheim, Second Instrumental Unit, New York, and the Callithumpian Consort of Boston. Joseph is the Artistic Director of the Fredericksburg Music Festival where world renowned European classical musicians gather in historic Fredericksburg TX for a week of music making. In 2010 Joseph founded the Marinus Project an international collective of chamber musicians dedicated to the tradition of classical music in our time. Marinus is the “Ensemble in Residence” at Washington and Lee University and Eastern University. In April 2011 the Marinus Ensemble received a $200,000 unrestricted artist development grant to further the Marinus Project. Joseph completed his undergraduate studies at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, where his primary teachers were Paul Katz for cello and Pozzi Escot for composition.

  • Critical Success Factors in Cello Training – a Comparative Study
    Critical success factors in cello training a comparative study by Anzél Gerber Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree PhD Music (Performance Practice) in the Department of Music Goldsmiths College, University of London Supervisor Professor Alexander Ivashkin 2008 (ii) DECLARATION I, Anzél Gerber, the undersigned, hereby declare that this dissertation, submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree PhD Music (Performance Practice), is my own original work. Signed: _______________________ Anzél Gerber (iii) ABSTRACT The research focused on the identification and ranking of critical success factors that contribute most significantly towards the training of a cello student. The empirical study was based on a sample of cello teachers in four countries selected for the study, namely Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. A literature study, identifying a broad category of factors that could contribute towards successful cello training, formed the basis of the questionnaire. These critical success factors included the quality of the teacher, acquired skills, the talent and giftedness of the student, support rendered to the student, and the curriculum. Each of these factors comprised five sub factors. The respondents were required to rank these factors in order of importance. In the final analysis, they were requested to rank the five main factors. A statistical process of ranking (forced ranking) and Kruskal-Wallis was applied to rank and analyse the responses of the cello teachers in the survey. The critical success factors that contribute the most significantly towards successful cello training were identified and compared. ________________________________ (iv) PREFACE This study is in partial fulfilment for the degree PhD Music Performance at Goldsmiths College, University of London.

Casals never held a permanent teaching position, neither did he commit his teaching philosophy to paper. This thesis examines three selected aspects of expressive tools: intonation, vibrato, and portamento – as interpreted by Casals – and defines how they are reflected in methods of two cellists with first-hand access to Casals's knowledge: Diran Alexanian (1881-1954) and Maurice Eisenberg (1900-1972). The first chapter presents two extensive biographical accounts of these authors.

With the Beaux Arts Trio, Greenhouse performed and recorded the entire standard piano trio repertoire before retiring from the group in 1987. However, Greenhouse’s career on the international chamber music stage represents only one dimension of his richly varied musical life. He was also a virtuoso cello soloist, a tireless musical collaborator, and the long-time cellist of New York’s Bach Aria Group. In order to demonstrate the breadth and depth of his recorded legacy, we have organized this discography in three sections: (1) Greenhouse As Soloist and Collaborator;
