Jeremias Fliedl - Cello
Territories - United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland
“In the Schumann Concerto, Fliedl brought out a real sense of storyline, unafraid to push past a beautiful sound when the music demanded it as he moved between magnetic pianissimos and moments of impassioned madness.”

Born in Klagenfurt in 1999, Jeremias Fliedl's musical development was significantly influenced by Heinrich Schiff as his last student at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna after his initial training with Igor Mitrovic. He completed his bachelor's degree with Clemens Hagen at the University Mozarteum Salzburg and his master's degree with Julian Steckel at the University of Music and Theatre Munich. He received important artistic input from Daniel Müller-Schott and Michael Sanderling. He has won prizes at the Liezen Competition, the Svirél Competition, the Antonio Janigro Competition and is the first Austrian cellist to be awarded as a laureate at the Queen Elisabeth Competition.
Jeremias Fliedl plays the "ex Gendron, Lord Speyer", a cello made by Antonio Stradivari in 1693, which is privately loaned to him.
