Ute Groh

Ute Groh
Born in Weiz, Austria. She received her first cello lessons from Herlinde Schwarz at the J.J.

Fux Conservatorium in Graz and continued study with Wolfgang Herzer at the University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna.
The course "Introduction to Historical Performance Practice" introduced her to the Baroque cello for the first time. This led to appearances as a soloist with the Viennese Bach Soloists. Performing baroque music has since been an essential element of her concert performances. This also led her to fulfill a long-held dream to master the viola da gamba and to perform publicly on it. From 2001 to 2005 Ute Groh was principal cellist of the Vienna Bach Soloists, the Graz Symphony Orchestra and the Sinfonietta Baden. Since then, however, her focus has been on the multifaceted nature of chamber music. As a long-standing member of the Concilium Musicum Vienna, she performs on stages at home and abroad on a period cello.
