The Washington Post describes acclaimed composer and cellist Paul Wiancko as “a restless and multifaceted talent who plays well with others”—a reference to his substantial collaborations with diverse artists like Max Richter, Chick Corea, Norah Jones, Arcade Fire, and The National.
In 2023, he was named Director of Chamber Music at Spoleto Festival USA. He also recently became the cellist of the internationally celebrated Kronos Quartet, in addition to his role as a founding member of the viola and cello duo Ayane & Paul and Owls, a quartet-collective dubbed a “dream group” by The New York Times.
