THE FLORIDA ORCHESTRA | 2017-2018
Lynn Harrell’s
presence is felt
throughout the
musical world. A
consummate soloist,
chamber musician,
recitalist, conductor
and teacher, his
work throughout the
Americas, Europe
and Asia has placed
him in the highest
echelon of today’s
performing artists
including such noted conductor-collaborators as
James Levine, Sir Neville Marriner, Kurt Masur,
Zubin Mehta, André Previn, Sir Simon Rattle,
Leonard Slatkin, Yuri Temirkanov, and Michael
Tilson Thomas. In recent seasons, Lynn performed
domestically with the symphonies of Atlanta,
Sydney, and Detroit, and the Metropolitan Opera
Orchestra to close the season at Carnegie Hall.
Abroad, he played alongside the Gewandhaus
Orchestra Leipzig, China and Seoul philharmonics,
Duisberg Symphony, and the Orquestra Sinfônica
Brasileira. He toured North America and Europe
with the Mutter-Bronfman-Harrell Trio to venues
including Carnegie Hall, the Maison Symphonique
de Montreal, the Salzburg Großes Festspielhaus,
and Dresden Staatskapelle. His international
engagements include adjudicating the XV
Tchaikovsky International Competition, concerts
with the Seoul Philharmonic and Eliahu Inbal,
Mariinsky Orchestra and Valery Gergiev, and
performing in the Verbier, Hong Kong International
Chamber, Aspen, La Jolla, Eastern Music,
Tanglewood, Ravinia, and Scotia festivals.
An accomplished recording artist, Harrell’s
discography of more than 30 recordings include
the complete Bach Cello Suites (London/Decca),
and two Grammy wins with Itzhak Perlman and
Vladimir Ashkenazy – in 1981 for the Tchaikovsky
Piano Trio and in 1987 for the complete
Beethoven Piano Trios (both Angel/EMI). Harrell
plays a 2008 Dungey cello. He makes his home in
Santa Monica, California.
