Biography
Louise Dubin recently finished her second season as Principal Cellist of the
Charleston Symphony. Previously, she has played with the cello sections of
the New Jersey Symphony and the Baltimore Symphony. She has also
served as co-principal cellist of the conductorless String Orchestra of New
York City (SONYC), Principal Cellist of the Auckland Philharmonia (NZ), and as
guest co-principal cellist of the Swedish Chamber Orchestra.
As soloist, her 2008 performance with the Charleston Symphony was
“virtuoso, musical and understated” (Charleston Post and Courier), and The
Charleston City Paper praised Ms. Dubin for “...beguiling our ears and
touching our hearts with sonorous and sensitive playing.” Her 2005 recital
at BargeMusic, New York City also received critical acclaim: “artistically
refined, affectionately shaped performances…her tone was smooth and
compact, intonation true-to-the-mark, and her phrasing was airborne and
veering to lyrical understatement…a superior instrumentalist and intelligent,
tasteful musician. She made a very fine impression.” Harris Goldsmith, New
York Concert Review.
Spring 2009 performance highlights include two recitals at Charleston’s
Spoleto Festival, Tchaikovsky’s sextet Souvenir De Florence with Daniel
Hope, Eric Kim and others at the Savannah Music Festival, and Arensky’s
Cello Quartet in New York City. (please see Schedule tab of this website for
more information). Past festival performances include quartet and trio
performances at the Norfolk Festival, chamber music concerts at Tanglewood
(where she also performed as principal cellist of the TMC Fellowship
Orchestra), and at the Lincoln Center Festival with the Merce Cunningham
Dance Company. In 2009 she played Manhattan’s Zinc Bar with jazz flutist
Anne Drummond, and in 2007-08 she toured with Stefon Harris’s nonet to
promote their recent Blue Note album, African Tarantella.
Ms. Dubin earned her bachelor’s degree in English from Columbia College
while studying the cello at Juilliard with Aldo Parisot. She has also studied
with Tim Eddy, Ralph Kirshbaum, and Steven Isserlis. Her most recent cello
studies have been with Janos Starker at Indiana University, where she
received the Eva Janzer scholarship and is a candidate for the doctoral
degree.
Ms. Dubin was a chamber music tutor at the University of Auckland in 2006.
She has served as teacher of cello at the Greenwich House Music School in
New York City, and as the cello coach of the Greater Newark Youth
Orchestra. She has also coached chamber music at Juilliard's Pre-College
Division, and conducted cello masterclasses at the University of Virginia and
Wichita State University. Teaching inquiries are welcome and can be sent
