Artist Spotlight: Edward Arron, Cellist

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Cellist Edward Arron is rapidly gaining recognition worldwide for his elegant musicianship, impassioned performances, and creative programming. A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Mr. Arron made his New York recital debut in 2000 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Since that time, Mr. Arron has appeared in recital, as a soloist with orchestra, and as a chamber musician throughout the United States, Europe and Asia.

Mr. Arron will perform with other internationally renowned musicians – pianist Anne-Marie McDermott, violinist Jennifer Frasutschi, and French horn player Eric Ruske – at the Chamber Music Programs at the Ringling International Arts Festival in October.

But if you’re lucky enough to be in New York tonight you can attend Mr. Arron’s performance at the Baryshnikov Arts Center.

Then come back and write a review.

Mason Bates music has been performed by The National Symphony Orchestra (both at the Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall), San Francisco Symphony, and the Atlanta and Phoenix Symphonies.

“At a time when symphony orchestras nationwide are trolling for audience magnets – the type of new material that can lure members of generations X and Y along with older subscribers – Bates just might have that bait.”  – The Los Angeles Times

Mason Bates’ new work is commissioned by the Ringling International Arts Festival.
