Edmonton-born David Eggert is a young cellist on the rise. He has won awards around the world and here at home, took first place in the 2006 Eckhardt-Grammate Competition for Canadian Music. An artist in every sense of the word, he seems to live and breathe the music he creates on the 1871 Niccolo Bianchi cello, lent to him by the German Music Foundation. Eggert has a dominating stage presence and imaginative interpretation. His inventive approach to traditional music blends well with his strong commitment to music of our time. He is presently studying for his Master's degree at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria.
