John-Henry Crawford

Cellist John-Henry Crawford has parlayed major competition wins into a flourishing international career. He has been a pioneer in using social media on the Internet to communicate his music-making. Crawford was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, on January 21, 1993. His grandfather, Dr. Robert Popper, fled Austria after Kristallnacht with a two-centuries-old cello; Crawford now plays that instrument, using a 1790 Tourte bow. Crawford studied cello as a youth with Andres Diaz at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. At 15, he was admitted to the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, studying there with Peter Wiley and Carter Brey. He went on for an Artist Diploma at the Manhattan School of Music, where his teacher was Philippe Muller, and a master's degree at the Juilliard School, studying with longtime Juilliard Quartet member Joel Krosnick. Crawford has also taken lessons with Hans Jørgen Jensen in Chicago. In Chicago, Crawford appeared on radio station WFMT on its Impromptu series and began an ongoing chamber music partnership with pianist Victor Santiago Asuncion. Crawford won prizes at the American String Teachers National Solo Competition, the Lynn Harrell Competition of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, the Hudson Valley Competition, and other events. He has held fellowships at Music from Angel Fire in New Mexico, the National Arts Centre of Canada, the Fontainebleau Schools in France, and other institutions. Crawford has appeared in concert in 25 states as well as in countries across the Western hemisphere, France, Germany, and Switzerland. He has performed at the Louvre Museum in Paris as part of its international concert series. Winning the Philadelphia Orchestra's Greenfield Competition brought a solo debut with that ensemble, and he has also performed concertos with the Memphis Symphony, the Shreveport Symphony, and the Highland Park Strings. One of Crawford's social media accounts has more than 55,000 followers and has attracted tens of thousands of viewers for his #The1000DayJourney project, which offers daily videos of his performance and practice sessions. Crawford made his recording debut in 2021 with Asuncion on the recital album Dialogo, featuring music by Brahms, Ligeti, and Shostakovich.
