About Johannes Moser

Cellist Johannes Moser’s wide-ranging sensibilities reflect an abiding ardor for music of all eras, which he interprets with a dramatic flair that never impedes his purity of vision. Born in Munich in 1979, Moser could hardly help being a musician: His parents are Canadian soprano Edith Wiens and German cellist Kai Moser; his brother, Benjamin, is a pianist; his grandfather Hans Joachim Moser was a musicologist; and his great-grandfather Andreas was a violinist and educator. Johannes quickly developed a professional path, studying first with Swiss cellist Wen-Sinn Yang and then David Geringas at the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music in Berlin, graduating in 2005. Since then he has played with many top orchestras around the world, although he excels most in chamber settings. His discography includes three volumes of music dedicated to Brahms and his Contemporaries with pianist Paul Rivinius (rec. 2007-09), and riveting accounts of piano trios by Chopin (rec. 2014) and Tchaikovsky (rec. 2019). While he is devoted to the classic repertoire, Moser has consistently performed and commissioned new music, including works by Julia Wolfe, Ellen Reid, and Andrew Norman.
