Praised for her “technical mastery” and “extraordinarily musical” performances, Icelandic-American cellist Geirþrúður Anna Guðmundsdóttir is carving a distinctive artistic voice, combining sensitivity with a bold and fiery stage presence. She has performed at venues across the world, including Carnegie Hall, the Southbank Centre, the Warsaw Philharmonic, Lincoln Center, and the Banff Centre. A life-long lover of chamber music, she spent a formative year as cellist of the Terra String Quartet in New York. Now, as a recitalist and soloist, she continues to draw on her experience as a quartet-cellist, prizing collaboration, spontaneity, and openness.
A Naïve Records Exclusive Artist and multi-award winner, Franco-Belgian pianist Antoine Préat is being noticed for his “distinctive voice” and strong musical convictions. He has performed at prestigious venues including the Wigmore Hall, St John’s Smith Square, Paris Beaux Arts Museum and Frederyk Chopin Insitute, as well as appearing on BBC Radio 3, France Musique and Scala Radio.
