Antonio Lysy – Cellist
Cellist Antonio Lysy has performed as soloist worldwide, in major concert halls, appearing with orchestras such as the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of London, Camerata Academica of Salzburg, Zurich Tonhalle, Israel Sinfonietta, or the Montreal Symphony Orchestra among others. He has collaborated with distinguished international conductors and has recorded extensively for European and American radio networks and labels.

Antonio plays on a Carlo Tononi cello made in Bologna, in 1700. As one of California’s most prominent cellists he is frequently invited as guest artist to distinguished series. His love and commitment to chamber music is also demonstrated by his musical directorship and founding of the annual Incontri in Terra di Siena Chamber Music Festival in Tuscany, Italy, now in its twenty-second season.

Antonio enjoys exploring the versatility of the cello’s voice from baroque to electric and has collaborated in performances of concert Tango, dramatized recitals and multi-media productions. A new album dedicated to cello works from Argentina, including a new work written for him by Lalo Schifrin, was released this year on Yarlung Records.

Antonio teaches at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA).

About TRANSIT:

TRANSIT is the fresh face of new music. For too long, musicians have been isolated from each other into narrow categories that have diminishing relevance to a digital society in a quickly globalizing world. Taking their cues from the slapdash diversity of the city around them, the artists of TRANSIT seek to create bridges between and among the various schools and styles of music being written and performed today, while embracing innovative projects that are relevant to contemporary culture. Their goal is not to achieve an international style or to promote a particular “sound.” Rather, they champion experimental music from a wide range of influences with the conviction that the music of today is inherently meaningful to audiences and vital to social progress. Paired with superior artistry, shrewd programming, and radically open ears, this determination keeps TRANSIT firmly rooted at the cutting edge of new music.

TRANSIT was founded by an idealistic bunch of like-minded musicians at the Bang on a Can Summer Institute. Since 2007, the TRANSIT collective has commissioned composers from around the world, and premiered new works in affordable concerts in New York City. In addition to the DoubleBill Series, TRANSIT pursues other projects focusing on new and experimental music, most recently including a three-part event at Galapagos Art Space featuring So Percussion and Tristan Perich, a large-scale multimedia project with Daniel Wohl, and a sound installation residency at Diapason Gallery. TRANSIT has performed in established new music series and venues (MATA Interval Series, Darmstadt at Issue Project Room, Detour at Le Poisson Rouge, CUNY Grad Center residency) as well as in events that bring new music to diverse audiences (March is Music at Pregones Theater in the Bronx, Astoria Music Society Series, ImagineScience Film Festival). Its individual members have performed in the US and abroad with preeminent groups including the Bang on a Can All-Stars, the NOW Ensemble, newspeak (the Harry Partch Ensemble), Orchestra of St. Luke’s, American Composers Orchestra, Anti-Social Music, Aspen Contemporary Ensemble, NJ Percussion Ensemble, and Sequitur, among others.<
