Veronika String Quartet 2011-12 Season
::Posted:: November 8th 2011
Welcome to Chamber Music with the Veronika String Quartet 2011-12 season. This season is one of the
major changes that brings us challenges including an exciting search for a new cellist member. Therefore we will
be inviting guest cellists to join our 2011-12 concerts including Katherine Knight and the Principal Cellist of the
Colorado Springs Philharmonic, Jeffrey Watson. We are also expecting 2 out-of-state cellists, Andrey Tchekmazov
and Scott Kluksdahl to join us. They are highly acclaimed with awards and appearances with major orchestras.
This exciting experience will be possible with support from the community. We are now accepting donations to help
with all expenses for bringing these musicians to perform with us.
Mr. Andrey Tchekmazov, who is expecting to join our 2nd concert in December
2011, is the grand prize winner of the Vittorio Gui International Chamber Music
Competition and the Premio Trio di Trieste. He has performed extensively
throughout North and South America, Europe, Russia and Asia, appearing at the
Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, Osaka Symphony Hall in Japan, New
York's Alice Tully Hall, Brazil's Sala Cecilia Mereles, Sala Sao Paulo and Teatro
Alfa with orchestras such as the São Paolo Symphony, the Moscow Chamber
Orchestra, the Brazil National Symphony, the Kiev Philharmonic and the Teatro
Alfa Symphony. He has also been a top prize winner at the Koussevitzky Cello
Competition in New York, the Schadt Competition, Artists International, Premio
della Critica in Trieste and the Russian National Competition in Moscow. Ever
since his critically acclaimed debut at Carnegie's Weill Recital Hall, Mr.
Tchekmazov has enjoyed an active career as recitalist and chamber musician.

Mr. Scott Kluksdahl, who is expecting to join our 3rd concert in March 2012, is a
native of California, a cellist who made his debut with the San Francisco
Symphony, and has been heard since as an orchestral soloist, recitalist and
chamber musician in major metropolitan centers throughout the United States,
Europe, Israel and Latin America. He possesses a special affinity for the
unaccompanied cello repertory spanning many centuries. Following a daring
unaccompanied program at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall in New York
City, Strings magazine identified him as 'a simply superb cellist, playing with
consummate technical ease, a beautiful sound, total conviction, authority and
dedication to the music.' Mr. Kluksdahl is the Recipient of the Tanglewood
Music Center's Leonard Bernstein Fellowship and prizes in the 1990 Walter W.
Naumburg International Cello Competition and the Washington International
Competition. Kluksdahl holds a BA in English and American literature from
Harvard University and an MM from the Juilliard School. Further information
