Jan Vogler
The career of award-winning cellist Jan Vogler is marked by a balance between a strong classical foundation and a drive to push creative and sonic boundaries. After joining the Staatskapelle Dresden as principal cello at age 20, the youngest player in the history of the orchestra to hold that position, he honed his skills with the ensemble for more than a decade before leaving to take up a solo career. Vogler has since performed with renowned conductors and internationally acclaimed orchestras around the world, with music ranging from staples of the repertoire to new commissions.
