Chicago Cello Society

A 90th Birthday Tribute to the Legendary Cellist Leonard Rose

MAY 18TH, 2009 AT 7:30PM Nichols Concert Hall 1490 Chicago Avenue Evanston, IL 60201 Open to the Public. Admission: CCS Members - FREE* Non-member Adults - $15.00 Non-member Students - $5.00 Payment by cash or check taken at the door. Please make checks payable to the Chicago Cello Society. * If you have not paid your membership dues for 2009, please do so at the door. The year 2008 marked the 90th birthday of the great cellist Leonard Rose. The Chicago Cello Society is privileged to host an evening with the distinguished cellist STEVEN HONIGBERG, who has just completed a monumental biography of Rose, his teacher and mentor for many years. He will give an extensive audio-visual presentation detailing his five years of extraordinary research for this book, which included in-depth interviews with former star students Yo-Yo Ma and Lynn Harrell, as well as Lorin Maazel, Van Cliburn, Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zukerman, Marta Casals Istomin, and over 50 other prominent colleagues and former students. The event also features rare films of Rose’s performances. Rose was a trailblazer, in possession of unusual attributes for a musician of the era. To launch his solo career in the early 1950’s, he risked the security of the salary of Principal Cellist of the New York Philharmonic while supporting a young family. But he swiftly reached superstar status, as concerto soloist with orchestras around the country, with annual recital engagements and international tours - all to tremendous public and critical acclaim. He made some 60 recordings, from the period of 78’s through LP’s. He was the master teacher for 11 years at Curtis and 35 years at Juilliard, guiding more than 200 cellists who are currently before the public, including cellists here in Chicago, as well as some of the most important talents of the current generation. Yo-Yo Ma told Mr. Honigberg in his interview, “He had the most beautiful form and sound I have ever heard. We stand on the shoulders of giants. He was a giant...” Heralded as a “sterling cellist” by the Washington Post, STEVEN HONIGBERG has emerged as one of the outstanding artists of his generation. He gave his New York debut recital in Weill Hall, and has since performed to critical acclaim throughout the U.S. in recital, chamber music and as soloist with orchestra. A member of the National Symphony Orchestra, (for which he was hired by Rostropovich in 1984), he has been featured numerous times as soloist with that ensemble. Mr. Honigberg is also cellist of the Washington, DC-based Potomac String Quartet. He has recorded a considerable number of solo and chamber works. His principal teachers included Leonard Rose, Channing Robbins, and Pierre Fournier. He holds a Master’s degree from Juilliard. As a protégé of Rose, he wrote this landmark biography with solid expertise, and comprehensive knowledge of the requisite technical and historical background. The cello world is extremely fortunate that Steve has completed this book, and that he has accepted our invitation to share this remarkable project with The Chicago Cello Society. Steve made the same presentation last fall to the Violoncello Society of New York This unique experience is not to be missed! The Chicago Cello Society promotes the art of cello playing; promotes an interest in and appreciation of the cello as a solo instrument; develops a broader understanding of the art of the cello; provides performance opportunities for cellists; provides a common meeting ground for professional and amateur cellists; and keeps abreast of current events in the cello world.
