Greetings! I go by Nate or Nathaniel, either is fine. I'm a classically trained cellist, been playing for over 20yrs, studied at Boston Conservatory at Berklee and Berklee College of Music for 9 years. Played with Yo-Yo Ma on several occasions by invitation.
I have 5yrs+ experience working as a session player at Berklee working with student film score composers and 3yrs in the Berklee Silent Film Orchestra. I spent 2 summers at Tanglewood as a fellow, played under conductors like John Williams, Andris Nelsons, Keith Lockhart, Herbert Blomstedt, Charles Dutoit, Michael Tilson Thomas, Christoph Eschenbach.
If you need a cello line for a song, movie score, video, etc, I can get the job done. I have a home studio that I record in, I work with Logic, and I will put my heart and soul into whatever I record for you.
Send me a note through the contact button above.
