ADAM GRABOIS, Cello

Adam Grabois has a varied career as chamber musician, soloist, teacher and recording artist and is the founder of the record label, Reflex Editions, about whose first recording the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote, “Sometimes, the way he plays with the sound of a single note has enough emotional sustenance in it to launch a half-dozen distinct feelings in quick succession.” A second disc with violinist, Deborah Wong, DUOS: Martinu, Ravel, Kodaly, was subsequently released to critical acclaim. Adam Grabois is the cellist of the New York Chamber Soloists with whom he has appeared at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Morgan Library, the National Gallery, the Getty Center, the Kravis Center and colleges and universities nationwide. He has collaborated with Menahem Pressler, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Rachel Barton Pine, and many others. Adam Grabois was educated at Swarthmore College and studied with David Finckel. He has a long association with Kinhaven Music School in Vermont, where he performs and teaches cello and chamber music. He is the director of the newly-created Kinhaven Young Artist Seminar and he previously served as president of the school’s board of directors. He has been on the faculty of the Weston Music Center in Connecticut since 2004.
