With a varied career as chamber musician, soloist, teacher and recording artist, Adam Grabois founded the record label Reflex Editions in 2002. Soon after, he released its first recording, music by Beethoven, Debussy and Rachmaninoff, about which the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote, "Sometimes the way he plays with the sound of a single note has enough emotional sustenance in it to launch a half-dozen distinct feelings in quick succession." A second disc, "Duos: Martinů, Ravel, Kodály," was released in 2008.
A resident of New York City, Mr. Grabois is the cellist of the New York Chamber Soloists, with whom he performs throughout the country. Recent concerts have included appearances at the National Gallery in Washington and at the Getty Center in Los Angeles. Other collaborations include performances with Menahem Pressler and, in past seasons, with Mikhail Baryshnikov in a dance by Jerome Robbins for solo dancer and on-stage cellist with performances in the capitals of Brazil, Argentina and in the Caribbean. He offered a New York solo recital on the inaugural season of Makor as well as multiple concerto appearances with the Vermont Mozart Festival. Last summer he returned to Vermont for performances with the Central Vermont Chamber Music Festival. He is also the cellist with Fiat Lux.
Adam Grabois was educated at the Lycée Henri IV, Swarthmore College, and at the Kinhaven Music School on whose board of trustees he now serves as President. He studied with David Finckel and has taught as his assistant.
