Clancy Newman

Cellist Clancy Newman, first prize winner of the Naumburg International Competition and recipient of an Avery Fisher Career Grant, has had the unusual career of a performer/composer. He has performed as soloist throughout the U.S., as well as in Europe, Asia, and Australia, and he has been a member of Chamber Music Society Two of Lincoln Center, Musicians from Marlboro, and the Weiss-Kaplan Newman trio. He has been a featured composer on series by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and the Chicago Chamber Musicians, and his "Pop-Unpopped" solo cello project has expanded cello technique in ways heretofore unimagined. He is a graduate of the five-year exchange program between Columbia University and The Juilliard School.
