Laura van der Heijden

Ever since winning the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition at age 15, cellist Laura van der Heijden has attracted attention as a rising young performer. She released her debut album in 2017 while still a student at Cambridge University. Van der Heijden was born on April 7, 1997, in the English county of West Sussex. At the age of four, van der Heijden took up the recorder, starting lessons on the piano the following year and the cello at six. She immediately showed talent on the latter two instruments and enrolled in 2005 in junior classes at London's Royal College of Music. In 2008, she became a pupil of cellist Leonid Gorokhov, and the following year, she appeared with the Jupiter Chamber Orchestra in Forest Hill, East Sussex, where she later took up residence. In the early 2010s, van der Heijden won a string of major youth prizes, including a first prize with distinction at the Swiss National Youth Music Competition in 2010. This gave her the chance to perform a Boccherini cello concerto with the Zurich Chamber Orchestra in 2011. Another major honor was designation at BBC Young Musician of the Year in 2012; in the final round, she played William Walton's Cello Concerto under conductor Kirill Karabits. In 2013, van der Heijden became an ambassador for the Children & the Arts organization. She enrolled at St. John's College, Cambridge, continuing her performing career while in school before she graduated in 2019. Her recording career began during her school years in 2017 with the album 1948: Prokofiev, Myaskovsky, Shaporin, Lyadov, playing an adventurous program that examined Russian music in the year of the Stalin regime's severe cultural crackdown. Among the top ensembles with which van der Heijden has appeared as a soloist are the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra, the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, the Philharmonia Orchestra, and various BBC orchestras, including the BBC Philharmonic. She has performed at Wigmore Hall in London, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, and the Opernhaus Zürich, among other major venues, and her chamber music partners include pianists Tom Poster, Katya Apekisheva, and Jâms Coleman. With Coleman, she released the album Pohádka: Tales from Prague to Budapest on the Chandos label in 2022.
