Cello

About

Susanna Mendlow, a versatile performer, arranger, and educator, enjoys playing a variety of musical styles. She captivates audiences with original two-cello arrangements of classical, popular, and world music as one half of the semi-improvisational duo Cello, World. She also regularly premieres works in the classical sextet Kassia Music and served as the cellist for QuinTango for several years. As both a soloist and chamber musician, Susanna has performed extensively throughout the United States, Europe, Central and South America, and Central Asia. Recently, she earned performance grants from the District of Columbia Commission for the Arts as well as an Emergent Seed award for her composition “Variations on Avre Este Abajour,” written for Cello, World.

Susanna holds degrees from Columbia University, Michigan State University, and SUNY Stony Brook. She currently teaches cello in her private studio and serves on faculty at Washington Adventist University in Takoma Park, MD.

  • "Cello World is an amazing duo. They make the music accessible and are very talented musicians."

    - Leslie S., past guest at Two Cellos in Dupont
