Artists
Sonia Wieder-Atherton, cello
As an interpreter of a very broad repertoire reflecting her imaginative world, a designer of projects, and a musician sought after by many contemporary composers, Sonia Wieder-Atherton occupies a special place on today’s musical scene.
She has played as soloist with the Orchestre de Paris, the Orchestre National de France, the Belgian National Orchestra and the Liege Philharmonic. Many composers have written works for her, including Georges Aperghis and Wolfgang Rihm. She regularly plays with pianists Imogen Cooper, Georges Pludermacher and Elisabeth Leonskaja, violinists Jan Talich, Raphaël Oleg and Sylvia Marcovici, the Accentus choir. Her many recordings reflect the course of her career. Her new CD "Songs from Slavic Lands" has just been released by Naïve, with whom she recently signed an exclusive recording contract.
Recognizing in Sonia Wieder-Atherton one of the most dynamic musical personalities of our era, the French Académie des Beaux-Arts bestowed on her the “Grand Prix Del Duca de l’Académie des Beaux-Arts” in 1999.
She studied with Maurice Gendron at the Paris Conservatory, took lessons with Mstislav Rostropovich, and left for Moscow to study in Natalia Shakhovskaya’s class at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory. In 1986, she was a prizewinner at the Rostropovich Competition.
