Séverine Ballon - New Music For Solo Cello and Solo Cello with Electronics
Contemporary cello specialist Severine Ballon presents new music for solo cello and solo cello with electronics, written by Stanford composers. Séverine is a member of both Elision Ensemble (Australia) and of Multilatérale (Paris). Her work focuses on regular performance of key works of the cello repertoire, as well as numerous collaborations with composers; in addition, her research as an improviser has helped her to extend the sonic and technical resources of her instrument. She regularly gives masterclasses for composers at Harvard University, the Hochschule für Musik in Stuttgart, at the University of Huddersfield, the University of California Berkeley, and at the Tzlil Meudcan composition course (Israel). In 2008-2009 she was resident artist at the Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart. Thanks to the Harvard French Scholarship Fund and an Arthur Sachs grant she will be a fellow at Harvard University during academic year 2014-2015.
