Jean-Guihen Queyras is artist in residence in The Hague at Residentie Orkest, Amare and the Royal Conservatory in the 2024/2025 season. In concerts conducted by Kerem Hasan, Anja Bihlmaier and Jun Märkl at Amare, the Concertgebouw and De Doelen , the top cellist will play works by Dvořák, Haydn and Bartók.

Internationally celebrated cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras (Montreal, 1967) is known for his broad repertoire. He interprets cello concertos by Haydn and Vivaldi but also plays music by Dallapiccola, Kurtag, Ligeti, Webern, Boulez and Gilbert Amy. He has played with all the top orchestras and is part of several chamber music ensembles, including a piano trio with Isabelle Faust and Alexander Melnikov. His CDs, most recently with works by Dutilleux, appear with Harmonia Mundi. Queyras teaches at the Musikhochschule in Freiburg and is artistic director of the Rencontres Musicales de Haute-Provence festival. He plays a cello by Gioffredo Cappa from 1696, put at his disposal by the Mécénat Musical Société Générale.

Sven Arne Tepl, director of the Residentie Orkest: "I have known Jean-Guihen for twenty years. He has been a regular guest with us and he understands the art of working chamber music with the orchestra. He is really interested in the musicians. Every collaboration with him is a celebration. In the process, he has fantastic ideas. Who else would dare to adapt Bartók's Viola Concerto for cello."
