Called “a cellist with rich tonal resources, fine subtlety and a keen sense of phrasing” (Gramophone), cellist Anthony Arnone enjoys a varied career as a soloist, chamber musician, conductor, recording artist, composer, and teacher throughout the country and around the world. Mr. Arnone is associate professor of cello at the University of Iowa School of Music, and is also on the faculty of the Preucil School of Music in Iowa City, where he teaches and conducts.

Performances have taken him around the United States, Europe, and Asia to many of the leading concert venues as soloist, chamber musician, and conductor. Mr. Arnone’s recordings with Albany and VAI have received acclaimed reviews in prominent music journals and online classical sights. An avid performer of the Bach Suites, Mr. Arnone wrote and self-published his own edition of the 6 Cello Suites with a composed second cello “Continuo” part to aid in teaching and performance.
As a cello soloist and chamber musician, Mr. Arnone was a founding member of the Meridien Trio and the Sedgewick String Quartet, which performed regularly at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston.
