Chris White, cellist, composer,  jazz cello

I have been playing the cello for over 50 years. Since the 1980s I have been exploring non-classical uses of the cello, especially jazz. I am also the founder of the New Directions Cello Association and Festival. I directed the festival for 25 years. An international forum for innovative uses of the cello in all styles outside of classical music, the NDCFestival has featured over 100 of the most creative talents in cutting-edge cello since it's inception in 1995. newdirectionscello.org
