Michael Lawson, cello
and lute, is a native of Sacramento, California, and received his
Bachelor of Music Degree from California State University, Sacramento.
In 1990 he performed in the Aspen Music Festival, where he met his wife,
Lisa. Since that time Michael has developed a unique presence as a
cellist, focusing the improvisational styles of early music, jazz, and
Celtic music. His interest in Baroque music led him to pursue continuo
playing on Baroque cello, taking masterclasses with Phoebe Carrai and
Elisabeth LeGuin. Michael is committed to education, teaching 30
students privately at Pease Conservatory. The Lawsons continue to
educate in the schools with their historical music assembly program,
"Music Journey," which takes the audience through five centuries of
music. |
