Kristin von der Goltz

The cellist Kristin von der Goltz studied with Christoph Henkel in Freiburg/Breisgau and William Pleeth in London, where she played in the New Philharmonia Orchestra under its then Chief Conductor Giuseppe Sinopoli. Since then she has been intensively involved with the Baroque cello and historical performance practice. She was a member of the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra from 1991 to 2004 and in 2006 became a member of the Berliner Barock Solisten; from 2009 to 2011 she served as principal cellist with the Munich Chamber Orchestra. She also regularly guest conducts the Norwegian ensemble Barokkanerne and has performed with the Trio Vivente for more than 30 years. Kristin von der Goltz has always been equally committed to playing the modern and Baroque cello, both on the concert stage and in her teaching activities as Professor of Baroque Cello at the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts and at the Munich University of Music and Theater. Kristin von der Goltz has released numerous CDs, both as a soloist and with her trio, the most recent of which is an album of cello sonatas by Francesco Geminiani.
