Cellist Fred Sherry has introduced audiences on five continents and in all 50 United States to the music of our time through his close association with today’s composers. Carter, Davidovsky, Mackey, Rakowski, Satoh, Wuorinen and Zorn have written concertos for Sherry, and he has premièred solo and chamber works dedicated to him by Babbitt, Bermel, Foss, Knussen, Lieberson and Takemitsu, among others. Fred Sherry was a founding member of TASHI and Speculum Musicae, and a close collaborator with Chick Corea. Sherry’s book 25 Bach Duets from the Cantatas was published by Boosey & Hawkes in July 2011. It will be followed by the long-awaited treatise on contemporary string techniques.
