Dorothy Lawson (cello) started learning the cello at age 9 in her hometown of Toronto, Canada. After studies in Canada (eh?) and Vienna (Ach, Du Lieber!) she arrived in NYC (what the f__?) as a Doctoral student at Juilliard. On completion of her studies there, she toured extensively with Baryshnikov’s White Oak Dance Project, the Bang on a Can All-Stars and the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, and was a founding member of the Rossetti and Roerich String Quartets. As if she doesn’t have enough going on, Dorothy is mother of two (if you don’t count the other ETHELS), has taken up composing and is constantly urging folks to use their right brain. Dorothy’s Koch label recording of Borodin’s Cello Sonata is a North American premiere and, little known fact, Dorothy is the solo performer of the Dvorak Cello Concerto on MUSIC MINUS ONE!
