Biography

Swiss cellist Samuel Niederhauser was mentored by Matthias Walpen, Cliodhna Ni Aodain and Rebecca Firth before embarking on a bachelor’s degree at Zurich University of the Arts with Thomas Grossenbacher in 2016, graduating with honours in 2020. He then completed his training at the Musik-Akademie Basel with a soloist master’s degree under Thomas Demenga. Samuel receives further inspiration by regularly attending masterclasses with Frans Helmerson, David Geringas, Louise Hopkins, Jens-Peter Maintz and Troels Svane, among others. In addition to various First prizes at national and international competitions, he received the Guy Fallot Prize at the Concours de Genève in 2021, was laureate of the Queen Elisabeth Competition in 2022 and won Third Prize at the Paulo Cello Competition in Helsinki in 2023. Samuel plays a cello by Carlo Giuseppe Testore from 1690 thanks to a generous loan.
