The Boston Cello Society will be interviewing local cellists. We are thrilled to announce our first cellist to be interviewed will be George Neikrug. Mr. Neikrug has appeared as a soloist with such conductors as Leonard Bernstein, Wolfgang Sawwilisch, Bruno Walter, Leopold Stokowski and Yehudi Menuhin, who stated, I was most impressed with his profound and accurate understanding of his instrument, as well as string playing in general. He is a first-rate musician, and I cannot recommend him too highly. His recording of Blochs Schelomo with Leopold Stokowski and the Symphony of the Air was recently re-released on the EMI label. In 1996, he was invited by Janos Starker and the University of Indiana to receive the Chevalier du Violoncelle award for outstanding lifetime achievement on the cello. Many of his students are in major symphony orchestras all over the world including some in principal positions and teaching at major universities. https://youtube/watch?v=FqJB3wZruaI
