About this listen
Musicians for Solidarity speak to American cellist Elena Cheah on the topic of diversity. Elena studied at The Juilliard School and at the Hochschule für Musik „Hanns Eisler“ with Boris Pergamenschikow. She was principal cellist of the Orchestra of the Deutsche Oper Berlin under Christian Thielemann and then principal cellist of the Staatskapelle Berlin under Daniel Barenboim. Since 2014, she has been a member of the Hegel Quartet and a professor of cello at the Music University of Freiburg, Germany. She is the author of An Orchestra Beyond Borders, a portrait of the musicians of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra and their journeys (Verso, 2009). She also co-hosts the podcast Out of Rich Darkness (available wherever you get your podcasts), an exploration of music and creativity, and lives in Berlin with her husband David and two cats.
