Described as a musician of “superb artistry” (Pasadena Now) who plays with “high energy and polish” (WQXR), cellist Anita Graef has earned recognition for her music making as an artist who is equally at home exploring traditional as well as contemporary works, along with a deep commitment to service, outreach and education.

She was recently named as the 2022 Gheens Young Artist, an award from the Gheens Foundation which included her concerto debut with the Louisville Orchestra, as well performing, speaking and serving as an educator throughout the city. In 2021, she was announced as the recipient of the American Prize in Instrumental Performance.

Anita performs on a modern Italian cello by Ferdinando Garimberti, dated 1923.
