about

Hello, I’m Gerlinde

I’m a cellist from Salzburg. I have played solo and in a string quartet for more than thirty years, in concert halls, churches and festivals across Europe.

I like a slow programme in a quiet room, and the hour before a concert more than the hour after it. Halls, festivals and press work with me by inquiry, and I teach masterclasses when I am asked.
