Cellist Zuill Bailey performs a selection of suites as part of Music in Corrales’ special 20th anniversary season celebration.

Mr. Bailey has delighted audiences around the globe through live performances, radio and television appearances and performs for one night only in the Historic San Ysidro Church in Corrales. Playing a 1693 Matteo Goffriller cello, Mr. Bailey (a graduate of the Peabody Conservatory and the JULLIARD School) has established himself in such prestigious venues as Kennedy Center, Alice Tully
Hall, Carnegie Hall and the 92 Street Y, as well as noteworthy international chamber music festivals.

A multi-faceted musician of consummate virtuosity, Zuill Bailey has established himself as one of the most sought-after and active cellists today. In recent seasons, Zuill Bailey has presented concerts at the Kennedy Center, Alice Tully Hall, the 92nd St. Y., and Carnegie Hall in addition to the Ravinia Festival, the Des Moines Civic Center, the Lied Centers of Kansas and Nebraska, the Bard Music Festival, the Kravis Center, and Wolf Trap.

As a concerto soloist, Mr. Bailey has performed with the Chicago, Dallas, Utah, Louisville, Phoenix, New York Chamber, North Carolina, Santa Barbara, and San Francisco symphony orchestras, under such celebrated conductors as James DePreist, Andrew Litton, Stanislav Skrowaczewski and Itzhak Perlman. He has played concerts abroad in Israel and Jordan; at the Manchester International Cello Festival; and at chamber music festivals in St. Nazaire and Montreal. Mr.Bailey made his Carnegie Hall debut with the U.S. premiere of Miklos Theodorakis’ Rhapsody for Cello and Orchestra.

Mr.Bailey’s television appearances include a nationally broadcast recital for NHK-TV in Japan; a performance of the Beethoven Triple Concerto broadcast live nationally from Mexico City; a televised appearance in Havana with the National Orchestra of Cuba, in which he gave the Cuban premiere of Victor Herbert’s Cello Concerto No. 2; three appearances on HBO; and an extended interview/recital on A&E’s Breakfast with the Arts. Among Mr. Bailey’s appearances on radio are his performances on Saint Paul Sunday Morning; XM Satellite Radio’s Live from Studio II; SIRIUS Satellite Radio; a recital for RTHK Radio Hong Kong; and the BBC’s In Tune program.

Zuill Bailey’s recordings include 2003’s eponymous debut recital disk for Delos (DE 3326); the Korngold Cello Concerto with Caspar Richter and the Bruckner Orchester Linz for ASV (DCA 1146), which was featured on the cover of Fanfare magazine; and this year’s Janos Starker Celebration, a musical tribute to the legendary cellist, featuring Bailey and Starker in the Cello Quintets of Boccherini and Schubert. As the Classical Recording Foundation’s 2006 winner, Mr. Bailey will add a recording of the complete Beethoven cello sonatas to his discography later this year.

A graduate of the Peabody Conservatory and The Juilliard School, Mr. Bailey performs on a 1693 Matteo Goffriller cello, formerly owned by Mischa Schneider of the Budapest Quartet. In addition to his extensive touring engagements, Mr. Bailey serves as Professor of Cello at the University of Texas-El Paso, and as the Artistic Director of El Paso Pro Musica. He resides in El Paso with his wife, artist Margarita Cabrera, and their young son.

Bailey “… is a dazzling combination of emotive musician, skilled technician and Hollywood heartthrob.” Lawrence Journal World
