Praised by the New York Times for having “traversed the palette of emotions” with “gorgeous tone and an edge of-seat intensity,” and described by Diario de Menorca as an “ideal performer” that offers “elegance, displayed virtuosity, and great expressive power,” Spanish-born cellist and composer Andrea Casarrubios has performed as a soloist and chamber musician throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas. First-prize winner of many international competitions and awards, she has appeared at Carnegie Hall, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Lincoln Center and the Ravinia, Piatigorsky and Verbier festivals. Recent engagements include commissions and concerts in Mexico, Spain, Canada, Germany and the United States.

Her album Caminante presents some of her own original music. Released on Odradek Records, it was chosen as one of the best 2019 classical music albums by Australia’s ABC Classic, celebrating her artistry as “superhuman.” As a guest soloist at Auditorio Nacional in Madrid, she performed her own Concerto for Cello and Orchestra, Mirage, among other works. Her compositions have been programmed worldwide, presented by organizations such as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra, National Philharmonic, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, Washington Performing Arts, World Heritage Festival, Sphinx Organization, the European Parliament, Carnegie Hall, NPR, and the Spanish National Radio.

A dedicated mentor, Casarrubios has taught master classes at the Juilliard School, University of Southern California, Eastman School of Music, Missouri State University, as well as at numerous festivals and institutions in Spain, China, Brazil and South Africa. Her cello teachers have included Maria de Macedo, Lluís Claret, Amit Peled, Marcy Rosen and Ralph Kirshbaum. As part of her doctorate studies in New York, Casarrubios also studied composition with John Corigliano.
