| "Especially
eloquent" (New Yorker Magazine), "Radiant" (Boston Globe) and
"Virtuosic" (Strad Magazine) are but a few of the superlatives
which have been used by critics internationally to applaud the
artistry of cellist Paul Cohen. Since making his concerto debut
at the age of twelve in his native Minneapolis, he has appeared
regularly with orchestras throughout New England and the Mid-Atlantic.
A recital debut at the Philips Collection in Washington D.C.,
acclaimed performances of the complete cycles of the Beethoven
Cello Sonatas and Bach Cello Suites in single formats, and chamber
music appearances with the likes of Dawn Upshaw, David Soyer,
and Marcus Thompson, round out a career which has been both diverse
and adventurous.
Since moving to Los Angeles in 1996 Mr. Cohen has expanded
his musical activities to include recording for motion pictures
and has participated in Academy Award and Golden Globe-winning
film scores by John Williams, Michael Nyman, and James Horner.
A dedicated and inspiring teacher, Mr. Cohen has lead a class
of cellists at Amherst College, been guest artist at the Aspen
Music Festival and served as Artist-in-Residence at Emory University,
Keene College, and the Apple Hill Center for Chamber Music.
Honors have come in the form of a Fischoff chamber Music Prize,
the prestigious C.D. Jackson Master Award at the Tanglewood
Festival, and a 1996 Individual Artist Fellowhip by the New
Hampshire State Council on the Arts. Mr. Cohen is a recording
artist for Centaur Records.
