Monica Scott, cellist, has had a varied career of solo, chamber music and orchestral work on both sides of the Atlantic. After completing her studies at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, she received her soloist's diploma from the Sweelinck Conservatoruium in Amsterdam. Monica has played at numerous festivals in Germany and Switzerland, as well as Prussia Cove in England and Sarasota in Florida. After an artist residency at the Banff Centre, Monica performed for four seasons with the Orquestra Metropolitana de Lisboa in Portugal, a position which included performing over 50 concerts per year with the Alcantara Quartet. During this time she was also a featured soloist with the Orquestra Metropolitana, performing concertos under the baton of Eduardo Alonzo Crespo, with whom she has also performed Dvorak and Haydn concertos in Argentina. Since moving to the Bay Area in 1997, Monica has concentrated on the presentation of little known twentieth century repertoire, and programming mixed recitals both on modern and baroque cello. Formerly the cellist in the Del Sol String Quartet, Monica performed countless premieres in that capacity, helping to develop an artistic vision for the ensemble which led to two consecutive Chamber Music America/ASCAP Awards for Adventurous Programming. Monica has performed with Composer's Inc and the Composer's Alliance, is a member of the SfsoundGroup, and also has a duo with her mother, pianist Irene Schreier. She teaches cello both privately and in the Preparatory Division of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
