Edmonton-born cellist Caroline Stinson resides in New York and appears each season in Canada, the United States, and Europe as a soloist and chamber artist. This summer, she performed Elliott Carter's Triple Duo with Pierre Boulez at the Lucerne Festival in Switzerland, and will perform this year in recital in France, New York, Oregon, Seattle, and Vancouver, and as soloist with the Syracuse Symphony.
Ms. Stinson has performed in New York at Carnegie’s Weill Hall, Merkin and Miller Theatre; the Gardner Museum in Boston; the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.; and in Europe at the Koelner Philharmonie, the BeethovenHalle Bonn, and the Cité de la Musique in Strasbourg, France. In premieres, recordings and performances, she worked with composers including George Crumb, Peter Eötvös, John Harbison, Aaron Jay Kernis, George Rochberg, and Steven Stucky, and recorded for Albany, Koch, Phoenix, and Naxos.
This year Caroline will begin recording a solo CD, tracing the influence of European composers of the last century on two subsequent generations of North American voices. She is the winner of the 2007 J.B.C. Watkins Prize from the Canada Council and First Prize in the Hohnen Foundation Cello Competition, Germany. She is a member of CELLO, the Contrasts Quartet, Open End (a new music and improvisation group founded with her husband, composer Andrew Waggoner), and a former member of the Cassatt Quartet. Her teachers include Alan Harris (CIM), Maria Kliegel (Germany), Joel Krosnick (Juilliard), and Tanya Prochazka.
