Ariana Kashefi, cello

                                                                         

She was a prize winner at the 2018

International Anton Rubinstein Competition for Cello, a finalist at the 2018 Pierre Fournier

Award, and she is the recipient of a Making Music Award for Young Concert Artists.

Thanks to the Royal Philharmonic Society’s ‘Julius Isserlis Scholarship’ for instrumental

studies abroad, Ariana recently completed her formal studies in Berlin, where she

attended the Hochschule für Musik ‘Hanns Eisler’ (studying with Professor Claudio

Bohorquez), followed by the Barenboim-Said Academy (studying with Professor Frans

Helmerson). She previously attended the Royal College of Music, where she was named a

‘RCM Rising Star’. Over the years Ariana has also received invaluable guidance from

Steven Isserlis, David Geringas, Ralph Kirshbaum, and Gary Hoffman.

Ariana frequently performs as a soloist with orchestras and this season includes concertos

with the Narva Symphony Orchestra (Estonia), North London Symphony Orchestra, and

the Janus Ensemble. As an orchestral musician, Ariana has worked with the London

Symphony Orchestra and has been invited on several tours with the Mahler Chamber

Orchestra. Recent engagements include performing with the Boulez Ensemble

conducted by Daniel Barenboim, a tour with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, and

recitals at St James’s, Piccadilly and Lichfield Festival.

British cellist Ariana Kashefi is in high demand as a soloist and chamber musician having

performed at venues including Wigmore Hall, Pierre Boulez Saal, Berlin Philharmonie,

Royal Albert Hall, Southbank Centre, and more.

Emily Sun with Andrey Lebedev

Wednesday 20th February, 1pm

Multi-award-winning Australian violinist Emily

Sun is joined by guitarist Andrey Lebedev for

a recital of J.S. Bach, Paganini, and Piazzolla.

by equipping outstanding musicians with the tools, skills, experience, and

networks they need to build and sustain rewarding and profitable careers.

Through an annual competitive audition process, we select classical soloists

and chamber ensembles, as well as jazz, folk, and world musicians. These

‘CMF Artists’ then engage in an innovative two-year programme, which

includes artistic and business mentoring, as well as professional development

workshops. These workshops cover a range of topics such as managing

finances, tax and pensions, legal input on copyright and contracts, plus

presentation and interview skills, promotion and publicity strategies, and

much more.

We work with the CMF Artists to develop professional promotional tools such

as websites, photos, recordings, and videos, as well as providing help with

commissioning and other projects to ensure that each musician develops a

unique niche and selling point. We present CMF Artists in our own recital series

and residencies and arrange performance opportunities at venues and

festivals throughout the UK and beyond, as well as securing airtime on BBC

Radio 3 and promotion through online, print, and social media.
