Elena Cheah, Bonus Room: Principal Cellist, Professor at the Freiburg Musikhochschule and Author of "An Orchestra Beyond Borders"

We begin the Bonus Room by asking Elena about her first job, principal cello with the Deutsche Oper Berlin, which was followed by her principal position at the Staatskapelle Berlin... but not before a year in and out of Los Angeles playing electric cello in her brother's rock band! She now plays with the Hegel String Quartet and is Professor of Cello at the Freiburg Musik Hochschule, where in addition to teaching cello she also explores new ways of creative teaching.
