Rebecca Turner is a cellist who believes in creating accessible music. Equally at home
performing in the concert hall or in a bar, Rebecca is a regular performer around London,
North America and New Zealand. Rebecca has participated in numerous recording projects
and gigs, ranging from classical symphonies, concerti and requiems, to film recordings and
collaborations with a variety of artists. The New Zealand artist’s international studies began
in 2001, when she was awarded a scholarship to study under Professor Mihaly Virizlay
towards a Master of Music degree at the Peabody Conservatory of Music. In 2003, Rebecca
spent some time in Singapore, taking up a fellowship she was awarded to study at the
University of Singapore and playing as a guest with the Singapore Symphony. Rebecca’s
journeys took her to London in 2004, when she was given the opportunity to study with
world renowned cellist and pedagogue, Natalia Pavlutskaya. Inspired by twenty-first century
repertoire, the up-and-coming cellist’s next move was to Toronto, where she spent a year
under the tutelage of outstanding contemporary soloist and virtuoso, Shauna Rolston.
Currently, Rebecca is residing in London where she is enjoying collaborating with a variety of
artists and exploring cultural and musical forms, both inside and outside the Western
classical tradition. |
