About

Like many musicians, Tim Posner was born into a musical environment. His father is was a violist, and his mother, a cellist, "quite naturally" became his first teacher. Apart from a passing desire to embark on a career as an opera singer - which even led him to play the shepherd boy in Tosca at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden! - the prospect of a life dedicated to the cello became clear from the age of thirteen, fuelled in particular by his early discovery of the infinite field of chamber music. After studying at the Junior Department of the Royal Academy of Music, Tim Posner crossed the Channel at eighteen to join Leonid Gorokhov's (winner of the First Prize at the Geneva competition in 1986) prestigious class at the Hochschule fur Musik in Hanover at the age of eighteen. In addition, he regularly benefits from Steven Isserlis' wisdom during masterclasses, which proved to be a decisive source of inspiration. He has since enjoyed a flourishing career, dividing his time between engagements as a soloist and chamber musician. In 2010, he founded the Teyber Trio with Tim Crawford and Timothy Ridout, with whom he is still active. He has also recently been appointed principal cello of Amsterdam Sinfonietta.

May 2024

No shortage of cellists have recorded Schelomo, yet Posner – who says he has been waiting for a chance to play it since childhood – adds his own deeply expressive character, the cello singing in rich, impassioned, and of ten melancholic voice, the ‘voice’ wrestling with ideas, holding the lavish emotional tapestry in balance.

13rd March 2024

Connoisseurs of instrumental colour should especially relish the dark throb of Tim Posner’s cello in the early bars of Ernest Bloch’s Schelomo, the first attraction in a programme that displays technical excellence walking hand in hand with open emotion.
