About

German-Canadian cellist Johannes Moser has been hailed by Gramophone Magazine as “one of the finest among the astonishing gallery of young virtuoso cellists.” He won the top prize at the legendary International Tchaikovsky Competition in 2002 and has since appeared with many of the world’s leading orchestras and conductors, performing in London, Florence, Berlin, and with Riccardo Muti, Zubin Mehta, Lorin Maazel, and Valery Gergiev. Most recently, he made his debuts with the Pittsburgh Symphony and National Arts Centre Orchestra in Ottawa. He also toured the U.S. with the Salzburg Mozarteum Orchestra and is a frequent collaborator with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

Johannes Moser is quickly gaining a reputation for his exquisite performances of lesser-known repertoire. His passion for new music has brought him much attention from leading conductors such as Pierre Boulez, who invited him to make his U.S. debut with the Chicago Symphony in 2005, premiering Bernard Rands’ Cello Concerto. His passion for the electric cello also inspired a number of composers to write for this instrument, mainly in combination with electronics.
