Mark Kosower, principal cellist of The Cleveland Orchestra, is described as “a virtuoso of staggering prowess” by the Cleveland Plain Dealer. A consummate artist equally at home nationally and internationally as a recital and concerto soloist, he regularly collaborates with his wife, acclaimed pianist Jee-Won Oh.  Together they have appeared in concert throughout the U.S. and abroad. Recent and upcoming performances include return engagements on the Great Performers Series at Lincoln Center and at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, as well as performances at the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, at Barge Music in New York, at the Kronberg Academy in Germany, at the Sala Cecí­lia Meireles in Rio de Janeiro, and at Kumho Art Hall in Seoul, Korea. In recent years Kosower and Oh have together and separately performed solo engagements throughout the U.S. and the world; served as a frequent guests at numerous national and international chamber music festivals; and recorded for the Ambitus, Delos, Naxos International, and VAI labels (including the first recording of the complete music for solo cello of Alberto Ginastera, for Naxos). In spite of their busy performance schedules, they have maintained their commitment to excellence in teaching. Kosower is currently as a member of the faculty at the Cleveland Institute of Music and the Kent/Blossom Music Festival, and is also serving as a visiting distinguished professor at the University of Oregon during the 2017-18 academic year.  Oh was the studio pianist and assistant to the famed cellist Janos Starker for five years, taught piano at Indiana University from 1994-98, and currently teaches and coaches clinics, workshops and masterclasses for solo and collaborative pianists throughout their travels. Both have offered masterclasses around the world.
