Lauded as a “formidable cello soloist” (The New York Times), cellist Nathan Vickery appears regularly in solo and chamber music recitals and at music festivals around the country. In a 2016 performance of Dvořák’s Cello Concerto, he was celebrated for his “talent and artistry” and his “fresh and appealing account” of the work (The New York Times).
Vickery joined the New York Philharmonic in September 2013 as its youngest member, and has since performed and toured with the Orchestra at home in New York and throughout the world. He also appears frequently in the New York Philharmonic Ensembles chamber music series at Merkin Hall, and in the NY Phil’s new-music series.
Nathan Vickery is a member of the Rosamunde String Quartet, in which he joins with violinists Noah Bendix-Balgley and Shanshan Yao and violist Teng Li. He has appeared as a soloist with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and as a recitalist and chamber musician at festivals including the Marlboro Chamber Music Festival, Summer Music at Indiana University, and the Steans Music Institute at Ravinia. He has served on the faculty of the Indiana University Summer String Academy, teaches privately in New York City and with the Shanghai Orchestra Academy, the New York Philharmonic’s professional training partnership with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra and Shanghai Conservatory of Music, and enjoys presenting masterclasses.
Vickery received his bachelor’s degree from the Curtis Institute of Music, under the tutelage of Peter Wiley. His pre-college studies were with Susan Moses at the Indiana University String Academy.
