Matt Haimovitz

Matt Haimovitz has evolved from a prodigy to one of the most dynamic cellists on the classical music scene. He has performed the standard repertoire but has also ventured into the non-standard while taking his performances beyond the concert hall to audiences in nightclubs and restaurants. In 2024, Haimovitz was heard performing Thomas de Hartmann's Cello Concerto, Op. 57 on the album Thomas de Hartmann: Rediscovered. Haimovitz was born in Bat Yam, Israel, on December 3, 1970. His family moved to California when he was five, and he took up the cello at age seven, studying with Irene Sharp and then Gabor Rejto. At 12, Haimovitz performed at a music camp where Itzhak Perlman was a member of the audience. Perlman was so impressed he introduced Haimovitz to cellist Leonard Rose. Rose was amazed by the young artist's ability and helped foster his education. Haimovitz's family moved to New York so he could study with Rose at the Juilliard School. He played his first concert at Carnegie Hall in 1984, at the age of 13, when he substituted for an ailing Rose in a performance with Isaac Stern, Mstislav Rostropovich, Pinchas Zukerman, and Shlomo Mintz. He accepted his first major honor, the Avery Fisher Career Grant, in 1986. In 1987, Haimovitz made his debut recording for Deutsche Grammophon, and his career trajectory followed the usual course one would expect for a classical artist, playing the concert hall circuit and teaching. Around 2000, Haimovitz faced the growing realization that the audiences he was playing for did not seem to attract very many people his age. He diagnosed this condition to the concert halls themselves, and resolved to meet the desired audience where they felt comfortable: in the ordinary coffeehouses, bars, and nightclubs where young people hang out. This loosening of the collar, as it were, also opened up his music, and in 2003, Haimovitz launched his "Anthem" tour, playing the works of living American composers in 50 different states. Mostly released on Oxingale (founded in 2000 by Haimovitz and his wife, Luna Pearl Woolf), recordings such as Lemons Descending and Anthem, also serve to expose young listeners to music from their own time. The response to Haimovitz's about-face in terms of performance spaces and repertoire may be mixed coming from critics, but audiences are pleased and are attending, which is Haimovitz's goal. His efforts in bringing classical music to people who would normally be scared off by its formality were recognized by the American Music Center, which presented him with its Trailblazer Award in 2005. In 2007, Haimovitz released the album Vinyl Cello, and a year later, was nominated for a Juno Award. In 2012, he performed the premiere of Glass' Cello Concerto No. 2 "Naqoyqatsi" and released Shuffle.Play.Listen with Christopher O'Riley. Haimovitz moved to the Pentatone label in 2015, teaming again with O'Riley that year for his label debut with Beethoven, Period. Haimovitz's new label reissued several of his Oxingale recordings in 2018. In 2020, he was heard with the Choir of Trinity Wall Street on the album Luna Pearl Woolf: Fire and Flood, which earned a Grammy Award nomination. He has continued a rigorous performing and recording schedule into the mid-2020s, appearing on the album Thomas de Hartmann: Rediscovered, performing the composer's Cello Concerto, Op. 57, and recording Luna Pearl Woolf's opera Jacqueline, based on the life of famed cellist Jacqueline du Pré, who had mentored Haimovitz when he was young. From 1999 to 2004, Haimovitz taught at the University of Massachusetts, and since 2004, he has taught at McGill University in Montreal and the Domaine Forget de Charlevoix International Music Academy.
