French-American cellist Georgia Bourderionnet has performed across the USA and France as well as in Germany, Canada, and South Korea. She made her solo debut at fifteen with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra and performed the first movement of Dvořák's Cello Concerto with the orchestra two years later. An enthusiastic performer of contemporary music, she has premiered chamber music works as a contemporary ensemble fellow of the Atlantic Music Festival and at the Eastman School of Music. Her orchestral playing led her to appear in the cello sections of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, Miami's New World Symphony, and more.
Ms. Bourderionnet holds degrees from the Eastman School of Music (studio of David Ying) and the Manhattan School of Music (studio of Philippe Muller). She has performed in masterclasses for distinguished artists such as Yo Yo Ma, Ludwig Quandt, Jan Vogler, Peter Wiley, Kazuhide Isomura, and Daniel Phillips.
