Louise Dubin

Cellist

An “artist of refined taste and musicianship” (Strad Magazine), cellist Louise Dubin is a frequent guest artist at concerts in the United States and abroad. She has played chamber music and solo recitals at Caramoor, Tanglewood, Norfolk, Savannah Music Festival, Spoleto, Sigal Museum, and many other US venues with artists including Daniel Hope, Stephanie Chase, Garth Newel Piano Quartet, Reiko Uchida, and many others. With Stefon Harris, she’s played Carnegie Hall, the Jazz Standard, and Chicago’s Symphony Hall for their album “African Tarantella.” She has premiered four compositions by Roger Stubblefield, including his Divertissement for Cello and Orchestra in New York City (2023). Recent French performances include her recitals at Salle Gaveau, Reid Hall and the CRR Conservatory (Paris) and the International Cello Festival (Beauvais). Having served as Principal Cellist of Charleston Symphony (where she was also a featured soloist) and Auckland Philharmonia, Guest Principal Cellist of the Swedish Chamber Orchestra, and Solo Cellist of Paramour (Cirque du Soleil), she now performs with Baltimore and New Jersey Symphonies, as lead cellist of Radio City’s Christmas Spectacular orchestra, and with many other ensembles. Her album The Franchomme Project (Delos) was critically acclaimed in Canada, Europe and the US, where Strings Magazine called it a “rare musical treat that unfolds with radiant energy” and where it was chosen a “best CD of the year” at KDFC-FM (San Francisco). She’s been interviewed on NPR’s Classical Tracks (APM) and Classical Classroom (NPR), and will appear on the CelloSherpa podcast in October 2025. Her performances have been broadcast on Performance Today (APM), New Zealand Radio, and Radio France. After completing her BA at Columbia and Juilliard, she earned a Doctorate from Indiana University, where she received the Eva Janzer scholarship for studies with Janos Starker, and later two grants which funded her research in France on Auguste Franchomme. She has given cello classes at the universities of UNC Chapel Hill, North Greenville, Connecticut, Virginia, Sam Houston State, Grand Valley State; and has lectured on her research at ASU Tempe, NYU and Indiana University. Her publications include Selected Works for Cello and Piano by Auguste Franchomme (Dover).
