Matt Haimovitz cello

GRAMMY-nominated Matt Haimovitz is acclaimed for both his tremendous artistry and as a musical visionary – pushing the boundaries of classical music performance, championing new music and initiating groundbreaking collaborations, all while mentoring an award-winning studio of young cellists at McGill University’s Schulich School of Music in Montreal.

Mr. Haimovitz made his debut in 1984, at the age of 13, as a soloist with Zubin Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic, and at 17 he made his first recording for Deutsche Grammophon (Universal Classics) with James Levine and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Haimovitz made his Carnegie Hall debut when he substituted for his teacher, Leonard Rose, in Schubert’s String Quintet, alongside Isaac Stern, Mstislav Rostropovich, Pinchas Zukerman and Shlomo Mintz.

Haimovitz’s recording career encompasses more than 20 years of award-winning work on Deutsche Grammophon and his own Oxingale Records. Close collaborations have included composer Philip Glass, pianist Christopher O’Riley, actor Jeremy Irons, author Cornelia Funke, and mezzosoprano Frederica von Stade, among others.

The solo cello recital is a Haimovitz trademark. In 2000, he made waves with his Bach “Listening-Room” Tour, for which Haimovitz took Bach’s beloved cello suites out of the concert hall and into clubs. He was the first classical artist to play at New York’s infamous CBGB, in a performance filmed by ABC News.

Haimovitz’s honors include the Concert Music Award from ASCAP, the Trailblazer Award from the American Music Center, the Avery Fisher Career Grant, the Grand Prix du Disque, the Diapason d’Or, and the Premio Internazionale “Accademia Musicale Chigiana.”

Krakauer & Haimovitz: AKOKA

Krakauer & Haimovitz: AKOKA

Olivier Messiaen’s “Quartet for the End of Time,” written in a German prisoner-of-war camp in 1940, is reframed from a contemporary perspective in AKOKA, a program created by David Krakauer and Matt Haimovitz. Named after Henri Akoka, the Jewish clarinetist who performed in the work’s premiere, the concert frames Messiaen’s transcendent masterpiece with Krakauer’s eponymous, quasi-improvisatory work and a new electronic composition by producer, beat architect, and klezmer/Yiddish music artist Socalled. Pianist Kathleen Tagg, most recently heard at the Pierre Boulez Saal together with Krakauer in the audiovisual production Breath & Hammer, and Johnny Gandelsman, violinist of the New York-based string quartet Brooklyn Rider, complete the ensemble.

  • David Krakauer, clarinet
    Matt Haimovitz, cello
    Jonny Gandelsman, violin
    Kathleen Tagg, piano
    Socalled, electronics/rap

  • Krakauer Akoka
