Isang Enders
Isang Enders is a German cellist known for his wide repertoire and for his expertise as both a soloist and a chamber musician. Also a passionate educator, he has taught at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Frankfurt, and he gives masterclasses. He was born in Frankfurt am Main in 1988, and his German Korean parents named him after the famous Korean composer Isang Yun. He first began exploring music on the piano when he was very young, and he took piano lessons and likely learned from his father, who was also a pianist. When he was nine years old, his parents wanted him to learn an orchestral instrument, and his piano teacher suggested the cello. Three years later, he began studying with Michael Sanderling at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Frankfurt. Later, he also received instruction from Gustav Rivinius and Truls Mørk, and Lynn Harrell became an important friend and mentor. He received the Darmstädter Musikpreis in 2007, and the following year he interrupted his schooling to accept the position of concertmaster of the cellos for the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden. He also collaborated in chamber ensembles with Myung-Whun Chung, Christoph Eschenbach, and Kit Armstrong. Enders’ reputation as a performer grew exponentially thanks to his work as concertmaster, but the non-musical responsibilities of the position proved to be quite stressful. He resigned after four years, determined to develop his career as a soloist and discover his musical identity. In 2012, he taught at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Frankfurt, studied at the Hanns Eisler University of Music in Berlin, and released the album Mit Myrten & Rosen with pianist Andreas Hering. He continued touring as a soloist and chamber musician in the 2010s, and he appeared on Bach: Cello Suites and the live Richard Strauss: Also sprach Zarathustra; Don Quixote with the Frankfurter Opern und Museumsorchester conducted by Sebastian Weigle. He also participates in music festivals, and has performed at the Marlboro Music Festival, the Verbier Festival, and several others. Starting in 2020, Enders toured with the Sitkovetsky Trio, Adrien La Marca, Michael Barenboim, and the Merel Quartet, and he was featured on Brahms: Viola Sonatas, Op. 120; Piano Trio, Op. 114 in 2020 and Ode: Hans Werner Henze - Works for Cello and Orchestra in 2023.
