Matt Haimovitz
Cellist Matt Haimovitz made his debut at age 13 with the Israel Philharmonic. He plays in all of the major concert venues, and he’s recently made a specialty of playing in some not so traditional concert halls – like bars, nightclubs and small restaurants. Other pioneering efforts include expanding the cello repertoire by inviting composers to pair the solo cello with non-traditional ensembles.

Cellist Matt Haimovitz recalls playing a Bach Suite in a bistro while a patron was eating. Then, trumpeter Rolf Smedvig remembers a smoking performance of the Brandenburg Concerto No 2, famous for its acrobatic high notes for the solo trumpet.
