Joel Krosnick Appears Here
Joel Krosnick, brilliant
twenty-three year old interna
tionally famous cellist has won
an enviable reputation all over
the United States and Europe,
Early this year the WASHING
TON POST, in a review of
his solo , recital in that city
wrote: “Krosnick has that
touch of musical magic that
goes far beyond technical con
siderations, He Is an artist
in the real sense: He and
his instrument are one and he
follows and leads It as the oc
casion demands. There are
moments of exquisite senti
ment, of resounding declama
tion, of delicate grace. His
whole manner Is masterly.”'
Joel Krosnick is one of
America’s youngest university
professors - he holds the post
of Associate Professor in his
instrument at the University
of Massachusetts at Amherst.
Previous to this, he held the
same post at the University of
Iowa.
In addition to his musical
genius, Joel Krosnick has a

young, handsome and is that
type of artist who wins over
the audience even before he
begins to play. His reviews
from Coast to Coast can best
be summarized by a quote from
the Cedar Rapids Gazette (Jan.
19, 1966): “Krosnick is gifted
with technique and offers a
tone that is warm and rich in
its various colors. It is quite
obvious that Krosnick is stand
ing on the threshold of the
citadels reserved for Rose,
Rostropovich and Starker.”
Between his American and
overseas concert tours, Joel
Krosnick keeps busy continually
enlarging his already all-en
compassing repertoire. This
young performer began concen
trating on his solo career even
before he joined the lowaStrlng
Quartet with which he has toured
extensively on both sides of the
Atlantic, Since leaving the Iowa
Quartet, his solo career has
blossomed as the demands for
I his artistic services continue
to flourish everywhere.
Joel Krosnick began his cello
studies at the age of five. He
did considerable work under
Luigi Silva from 1951 until 1961,

gaard. He has appeared as
