Cellist Jonas Seeberg began his training with Horatiu Cenariu in Munich and subsequently studied in the United States with Bernard Greenhouse, co-founder of the legendary Beaux Arts Trio and a master student of Pablo Casals. His other teachers included Maurice Gendron, Zara Nelsova, and Josef Schwab. Seeberg held principal positions in several European orchestras, since 2001 with the Philharmonie Zuidnederland. Since 2023, he has performed exclusively as a soloist and chamber musician. During his time in the Netherlands, he met and collaborated with the Dutch Baroque cellist Anner Bylsma. His critical engagement with Bylsma’s ideas on the interpretation of Bach’s suites resulted in the most comprehensive research project on the suites in recent decades. This culminated in 2023 in a highly acclaimed new edition of the suites published by Edition Walhall, which is regarded internationally as a milestone and the foundation of a new perspective on the suites. His CD recording of the suites was released in 2025 by Et‘cetera Records. Additional CD and radio recordings have been made for Sony, Neos, WDR, Deutschlandfunk, NL 4, and L1. A first-ever recording of all works for cello and fortepiano by Robert Schumann on period instruments is planned for 2026. Seeberg plays a cello by Matteo Goffriller, Venice, 1700, strung with unwound gut strings, as was customary until the mid-20th century. They produce a sound that is entirely different from that of the steel-stringed instruments commonly used today. “Seeberg conveys deep emotions with effortless ease, playing with great virtuosity yet playfulness, with crystal-clear tone and flawless intonation—a soloist of the highest caliber.” (Rheinische Post)
