BIOGRAPHY

Arne Zeller, a  "young exceptional artist with an extrodinary stage presence and a seemingly effortless functioning virtuosity“ (SWR Kultur, broadcasting corporation), is characterised by “a rare combination of technical sovereignty, differentiated sonority, and deeply rooted musical formative power” (Hans Gál Foundation).

As the winner of the Grand Prix and the audience award of the Budapest International Cello Competition 2025 and the International Pau Casals Award 2024 he is increasingly gaining national and international recognition.
Recently he was admitted to the SWR Kultur New Talent program and rewarded with the Hans Gál Soloist Prize 2026.

In this season he will be performing in Germany, Hungary, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Greece, Romania, Spain, and Japan.
