Description

Hannah Holman, cellist, joined the New York City Ballet Orchestra at the beginning of the 2012-2013 season. Her career has encompassed orchestral and chamber music, solo performances, and teaching. In a review of the second CD she recorded with pianist Réne Lecuona, Fanfare magazine declares "her tone and technique are the stuff that cello legends are made of... Holman's cello sings with a lustrous tone that's hard to resist." In addition to her work with the New York City Ballet Orchestra, Ms. Holman is the principal cellist of the Quad City Symphony, a position she has held since 2008. She began her professional career in England playing with the English String Orchestra and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. A dedicated private teacher who finds great fulfillment in helping students of all ages grow musically, Ms. Holman was on the University of Iowa music faculty from 2002-2012, and most recently was on the faculties of the University of Northern Iowa and Biola Conservatory. She has participated in numerous festivals and has served on the faculty of the Eastern Music Festival since 2001, and currently serves on the faculty of the International Cello Institute, the Five Seasons Music Festival, and Taconic Music. Hannah is the founder and Artistic Director of a new music school based in the Quad Cities, The Deanery School of Music.
