JOSEPHINE van LIER
Cello

Josephine van Lier studied violoncello at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, where she received her Master’s degree in both cello performance and pedagogy.

Cellist Josephine van Lier is one of Edmonton's busiest performers. She appears as chamber musician, soloist and as performer with large ensembles. A versatile musician, Josephine is as much at home on a modern cello as she is on a baroque cello, a 5-string violoncello piccolo or a carbon fibre cello. She therefore covers a repertoire from Bach to George Andrix, drawing on a palette of sounds and colours available from this range of instruments, string set-ups and bows.

She is the recipient of the "Celebration of Women in the Arts Award" from the Edmonton Arts Council.
