Jeremias Fliedl is among the leading Austrian cellists of his generation. In 2024, he released his debut album "TRANSFORMATION", which was met with great acclaim among critics: "a sumptuous feast of cello timbres" (BBC Music Magazine), "brilliant" (Die Presse), "technically brilliant and with astonishing musical maturity" (Concerti), "soulful expression, marvellous legato" (Klassik Heute). The album was recorded with the Wrttemberg Chamber Orchestra Heilbronn under Emmanuel Tjeknavorian and was released by the label Berlin Classics.

Born in Klagenfurt in 1999, Jeremias Fliedl's musical development was significantly influenced by Heinrich Schiff as his last student at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna after his initial training with Igor Mitrovic. He completed his bachelor's degree with Clemens Hagen at the University Mozarteum Salzburg and his master's degree with Julian Steckel at the University of Music and Theatre Munich. He received important artistic input from Daniel Mller-Schott and Michael Sanderling. He is a prizewinner of the Liezen Competition, the Svirl Competition, the Antonio Janigro Competition and also the first Austrian cellist to be awarded as a laureate at the Queen Elisabeth Competition.

Jeremias Fliedl plays the "ex Gendron, Lord Speyer", a cello made by Antonio Stradivari in 1693, which is privately loaned to him.

A finalist of The 18th International Robert Schumann Competition Zwickau and Semi-Finalist of the XX Santander International Piano Competition Paloma O Shea, Callum Mclachlan, 24, has been described as A born Schumann player with a magical sense of colour and extraordinary technical prowess (July 2019, London recital). He has been selected as one of the final 24 Pianists in the 21st Leeds International Piano Competition.

In the last season, he made his debut in Klavier Festival Ruhr, Menton International Music Festival, Lake District Summer Music and gave the Swiss Premiere of Eric Tanguys Piano Quartet for Classeek in Aubonne, Switzerland. In 2024 he will debut with Nrnberg Staatsphilharmonie and make his Japan Recital Debut for Yamaha in Ginza Hall, Tokyo.

Most recently he was a finalist of the Royal Over Seas League Piano Competition in London, and was nominated for International Classical Music Classeek Award.
