Fanny Nemeth-Weiss

August 23, 2010

The young cellist Fanny Nemeth-Weiss likes to travel: she was born in Hungary and studied in Zagreb (Croatia), Graz (Austria), Zurich and Basel (Switzerland), where she was a student of Ivan Monighetti. In 2005 she entered the Manhattan School of Music and is currently studying at the Catholic University of America. Fanny received scholarships from several programs, including the Itzhak and Toby Perlman program. She also participated in master classes lead by Bernard Greenhouse, Eleonore Schoenfeld, Natalia Shahovskaya, Itzhak Perlman, Robert Mann, the Takacs Quartet and several others. In 2008 Fanny made her Weill Recital Hall debut. She played recitals and chamber concerts in France, Germany, Hungary, Austria, Italy, and other countries.

We’ll hear two large-scale works played by Ms. Nemeth-Weiss: first, Robert Schumann’s Fantasy Pieces Op. 73, and then Suite for solo cello no. 3 in C Major by Bach. To listen, click here.
