Matt Haimovitz

Cellist Matt Haimovitz has evolved from a prodigy to one of the most dynamic cellists on the classical music scene. He has performed the standard repertoire but has also ventured into the non-standard while taking his performances beyond the concert hall to audiences in nightclubs and restaurants. Haimovitz founded the Oxingale label in 2000 with his wife, Luna Pearl Woolf. In 2020, Haimovitz was heard with the Choir of Trinity Wall Street on the album Luna Pearl Woolf: Fire and Flood, which earned a Grammy Award nomination. He has continued a rigorous performing and recording schedule into the mid-2020s, appearing on the album Thomas de Hartmann: Rediscovered as well as a recording of Luna Pearl Woolf's opera Jacqueline, based on the life of famed cellist Jacqueline du Pré, who had mentored Haimovitz when he was young.
