Cello/Artistic Leader
Guy Fishman is active as a concerto soloist, recitalist, chamber musician, and orchestral player. He is principal cellist of the Handel and Haydn Society, with which he made his Symphony Hall solo debut in 2005.
He is in demand as an early music specialist in the United States and Europe, having performed as principal cellist and with Tafelmusik, Seraphic Fire, Consone String Quartet, Arcadia Players, Connecticut Early Music Festival, Querelle des Bouffons, Emmanuel Music, the Boston Museum Trio, Boulder Bach Festival, El Mundo, and with Boston Baroque and Apollo’s Fire, among others.

Fishman has appeared in recital with Dawn Upshaw, Mark Peskanov, Eliot Fisk, Richard Eggar, Lara St. John, Gil Kalish, Kim Kashkashian, and Natalie Merchant. His playing has been praised as “plangent” by the Boston Globe, “electrifying” by The New York Times, and “beautiful....noble” by the Boston Herald, and “dazzling” by the Portland Press Herald. The Boston Musical Intelligencer related having “…heard greater depth in [Haydn concerto] than I have in quite some time.”
