Louise Dubin

Cellist

The cellist Louise Dubin is a renowned performer and researcher of cellist-composer Auguste Franchomme (1808-1884). Her new album Passages features world premiere recordings of works by Franchomme alongside compositions by Frederic Chopin, Claude Debussy, Gabriel Fauré, Francis Poulenc, Charles Koechlin and Philippe Hersant. Dubin is joined by cellist Julia Bruskin and pianist Spencer Myer on the album, which was released September 5, 2025 on Bridge Records (BRIDGE 9597).

Passages follows the release of Dubin's critically-acclaimed recording The Franchomme Project (Delos, 2015), which Strings Magazine called a “rare musical treat that unfolds with radiant energy,” and her publication Selected Works for Cello and Piano by Auguste Franchomme (Dover Publications, 2017).

On October 25th at St. John's in the Village in NYC (218 West 11th Street, Manhattan), Dubin celebrates the release of the new album with cellists Julia Bruskin and Philippe Muller and pianist John Novacek. Novacek and Dubin will perform the NYC premiere of Louise Heritte-Viardot’s unknown Romantic sonata, and selections by Chopin, Koechlin and more from Passages. Julia Bruskin joins Dubin for all of the cello duos on the album, including Caprices by living composer Philippe Hersant, an unpublished duo by Fauré, and their world premiere recording of Auguste Franchomme's Nocturne Op. 14/2. Philippe Muller joins for more duos and the world premiere performance of a cello ensemble work by Franchomme.
