Jeffrey Zeigler

American cellist Jeffrey Zeigler specializes in contemporary music and performed for eight years with the Kronos Quartet. He is also a significant educator. Zeigler took up the cello at age eight. His family was not musical, and when he agreed to take lessons, he did not even know what a cello was. However, he warmed to the instrument, especially after acquiring a cassette tape of cellist Yo-Yo Ma playing Haydn's cello concerts. Zeigler attended the Eastman School of Music as an undergraduate, graduating in 1995, and earned a master's degree at the Shepherd School of Music at Rice University in Houston. He went on for further studies at the University of Indiana and then became a resident artist with the Lisa Arnhold String Quartet-in-Residence Program at the Juilliard School, performing as a member of the Corigliano Quartet. He made his recording debut in 1999 on the album Society of Composers, Inc.: Connections, and since then, his large recorded output has focused almost exclusively on contemporary music. In 2005, Zeigler joined the Kronos Quartet, replacing Jennifer Culp. He departed in 2013 in order to devote himself to new projects and was succeeded by Sunny Yang. With the quartet, he made numerous recordings and won several major prizes. Zeigler has performed with major orchestras, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Toronto Symphony, and the Royal Danish Radio Symphony. He has commissioned new works from or collaborated with a variety of important figures, including Philip Glass, Yo-Yo Ma, avant-garde rock artist Laurie Anderson, John Corigliano, and Pulitzer Prize-winning scientist Siddhartha Mukherjee. After leaving the Kronos Quartet, he released the solo album Something of Life on the Innova label. He has recorded for the VisionintoArt label and for Glass' Orange Mountain Music (in Glass' Music for The Crucible), and in 2023, he released the album Slow Beethoven on the Round Sound label. Zeigler is on the faculty at the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami in Florida, where he directs the Frost Chamber Music Series.
