Harriet Krijgh

Cellist Harriet Krijgh is has emerged as a star on her instrument in the Netherlands, not only following in the footsteps of her teachers but also operating her own summer festival, Harriet & Friends. She was signed to the Deutsche Grammophon label in 2018. Krijgh was born in the Netherlands in 1991 and took up the cello at age five. Four years later, she won admission to the Utrecht Conservatory's Young Talent class. In 2004, she moved to Vienna for studies with Lilia Schulz-Bayrova and Jontscho Bayrovaan, taking classes at the Privatuniversität Wien and also attending masterclasses with Steven Isserlis, Clemens Hagen, and others. Krijgh has continued to live in Vienna, giving recitals there as well as at such top Dutch venues as the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, de Doelen in Rotterdam, and the Muziekcentrum Vredenburg in Utrecht. In 2008, Krijgh took two top prizes at the Queen Christina Competition; those represented the first of a series of important competition victories. She toured Asia in 2011, making such unusual stops as Vietnam. She entered the Kronberg Academy as a Young Soloist in 2013, earning a Casals Scholarship and studying with Frans Helmerson. She also continued her studies with Lilia Schulz-Bayrova in Vienna. By the late 2010s, Krijgh was visible around Europe as an important new cellist. She made concerto appearances with the Munich Philharmonic, the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, and the London Philharmonic, among other major ensembles, and she has been a favorite at European summer festivals. An enthusiastic chamber player, Krijgh joined the Artemis Quartet in 2019. Her discography is substantial for such a young player. She recorded The French Album for the Capriccio label in 2012 and made several more albums for that imprint before being signed by Deutsche Grammophon. In 2019, she made her debut on that label, Vivaldi, with Candida Thompson conducting the Amsterdam Sinfonietta.
