STEVEN DOANE

Steven Doane continues to maintain an active career as recitalist, soloist, chamber musician, and master teacher, both in the US and overseas. He has been on the cello faculty of the Eastman School of Music since 1981 and is a visiting professor and Fellow of the Royal Academy of London. He has presented master classes in most of the major music colleges in England, Scotland and Ireland. As an educator he is deeply committed to nurturing the next generation of cellists.

Since his NY recital debut in Alice Tully Hall in 1991 Doane has given recitals throughout the US, throughout the UK, and twice at London’s Wigmore Hall. In 1983 he performed Don Quixote as soloist with the Rochester Philharmonic under David Zinman in Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center. Other concerto appearances have included engagements with the San Francisco Symphony, New Mexico Symphony, Santa Fe Symphony, and the orchestras of Milwaukee, Baltimore, Chautauqua Festival Orchestra and the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland.

Doane’s duo collaboration with pianist Barry Snyder has covered a period of over 35 years. Their partnership resulted in CDs (on the Bridge Records label) of the music for cello and piano of Britten and Bridge, Rachmaninoff, and the complete music for cello and piano of Gabriel Faure.
A member of the Naumburg Award winning New Arts Trio during the 1980s, Mr. Doane was most recently the cellist of the Los Angeles Piano Quartet.
