Eugene Friesen’s Pure Water: Poetry of Rumi Eugene Friesen’s In the Shade of Angels

Biography

Cellist and composer Eugene Friesen is a graduate of the Yale School of Music. He has been a member of the Paul Winter Consort and performs with Howard Levy and Glen Velez as Trio Globo. He received a Grammy® Award as a member of the Paul Winter Consort for the 1994 album Spanish Angel, and again in 2006 for the Consort’s Silver Solstice, and in 2007 for Crestone.

Friesen has broken new ground for the cello, using it in a wide variety of non-classical settings and creating new techniques to expand its role as a solo and accompanying instrument. As “Celloman,” he has performed thousands of concerts for young audiences on cello and electric cello. He teaches at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts and lives in Vermont with his wife, Wendy, and children. Friesen and his wife run a nonprofit production company, Sonoterra Productions.
