Available in:
Eugene Friesen is an American cellist and composer.
Friesen is a graduate of the Yale School of Music. He has been a member of the Paul Winter Consort since 1978, and performs with Howard Levy and Glen Velez as Trio Globo. He received a Grammy Award as a member of the Paul Winter Consort for the 1994 album Spanish Angel and again in 2006 for the Consort's Silver Solstice and in 2007 for "Crestone." Friesen has won 3 Grammy Awards to date.
Friesen has broken new ground for the cello, using it in a wide variety of non-classical settings and creating new techniques to expand its role as a solo and accompanying instrument—although he cannot improvise melodically through chord progressions. He has also performed thousands of concerts for young audiences on cello and electric cello as "Celloman." He is an Associate Professor at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts and lives in Vermont with his wife, Wendy, and children. Among his prominent students are Rushad Eggleston, Mads Tolling, Lindsay Mac, and Nathan Leath. Friesen and his wife run a nonprofit production company, Sonoterra Productions.
