Michael Unterman

Michael Unterman enjoys a busy career as a chamber musician and orchestral cellist, primarily as co-principal cello of A Far Cry, Boston Baroque, and Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, and as a member of the Cramer Quartet. He was also formerly the artistic director of Five Boroughs Music Festival in New York City and a member of the Portland Baroque Orchestra. As a frequent curator and producer of concert programs, his projects have been praised as “just the kind of imaginative artistic agenda that more groups should be prodded to try” (Boston Globe) and “gorgeous and remarkably unified” (Washington Post). Relishing a wide variety of musical roles as well, he has been praised for his “soulful and sultry solos,” “nuanced, sensitive, and wholly gorgeous collaboration” (Classical Scene), and “heroic continuo” (Parterre Box).
