Have you ever heard a viola da gamba? Are you curious about what sets it apart from other more commonly used stringed instruments? Join us as the first-ever American laureate of the 7th International Bach-Abel Competition, Arnie Tanimoto leads an educational lecture about the instrument and a demonstration performance!
Arnie Tanimoto was the first-ever viola da gamba major at the Juilliard School, where he soloed on both viola da gamba and baroque cello. In 2017 he was awarded with a Frank Huntington Beebe Fund Fellowship and subsequently finished his studies at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel, Switzerland. His principal teachers include Paolo Pandolfo, Sarah Cunningham, and Christel Thielmann. As a teacher, Mr. Tanimoto serves on faculty at the Mountainside Baroque Summer Academy, as well as maintaining a private studio in New York City. He holds additional degrees from Oberlin Conservatory and the Eastman School of Music.
